Technical FAQs 4

Should you install a solar-powered energy system for your greenhouse?

The initial cost of installing a solar-powered energy system for your greenhouse can be significant, but the long-term savings it provides can’t be ignored. Using renewable energy sources to power your greenhouse can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs.

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.

What is a solar-powered greenhouse?

Solar-powered greenhouses can utilize renewable solar energy to provide the greenhouse with power and maintain a comfortable environment for plant growth. Even if the weather outside the greenhouse is less than ideal for plant growth, a solar greenhouse’s controlled internal environment can be tailored explicitly for successful growth.

Can solar panels be used as a greenhouse energy source?

Solar panels are commonly used as a solar energy source for greenhouses, especially among sustainably-minded people. Made of photovoltaic cells, solar panels and systems can be installed to convert sunlight into usable electricity.
