Solar leisure glass greenhouse project

What is solar greenhouse?

The aim was to design and build a system that could be replicated in both rural and urban areas. Solar Greenhouse is the result of the investigation and search of new ways of adapting to modern life and withstanding future food and energy crises, reinterpreting the way we meet our most basic social needs in a more ecological way.

What is a greenhouse integrated PV (gipv) module?

Get in touch! Traditional greenhouses rely on external fossil fuel derived energy sources to power lighting, heating and forced cooling. Specially designed BiPV solar glass modules for greenhouses, Heliene’s Greenhouse Integrated PV (GiPV) modules offer a sustainable alternative with no additional racking or support required.

How does a solar greenhouse work?

In addition, a matrix of LED strip lights makes growth cycles easier, with the help of Black Light. The greenhouse roof was created with glass and was arranged in a ‘diamond’ shape to allow the complete capture of sunlight, which enters directly into the solar panels and allows the plants grown inside to receive direct light.

Are solar greenhouses a viable alternative to horticultural production?

Solar greenhouses currently constitute the most energy-intensive branch of agriculture; the energy inputs (fuels and electricity) to meet the heat needs of greenhouses have a major impact on the cost and environmental sustainability of horticultural and floricultural production.
