Agrivoltaic Panel Design for Greenhouses
Abstract
The photovoltaic greenhouse solar energy distribution method based on crop growth mode entails: first, developing a light demand model, a photovoltaic cell equivalent mathematical model, and a mathematical model of the light environment based on greenhouse crops; and second, achieving a reasonable energy distribution. This novel strategy increases land use efficiency by providing critical resources for crops such as lighting, irrigation, and thermal insulation while also generating power for the national grid. The photovoltaic cell generates the most electricity in conditions similar to greenhouse agricultural growth. Photovoltaic greenhouses not only do not take up extra cropland, but they also add value to the existing land by providing lighting, irrigation, and thermal insulation for crops throughout the greenhouse, as well as power to the national grid and reducing pollution. The issue is a new sort of clean energy, a new type of energy infrastructure, which several nations are striving to build. Meanwhile, photovoltaic greenhouses are a promising development option for addressing vegetable and power issues in border posts, isolated places, and hilly regions.
