Solar greenhouses are currently the most energy-intensive agricultural sector. In literature, there is no worldwide mapping of solar greenhouse performance under different climate scenarios. This study analyzes the performance of a Venlo solar greenhouse for 48 localities around the world.
In addition to climate, which plays a crucial role, various parameters impact the solar greenhouse, including the type of crop (related to the specific need for plant growth), indoor lighting, the presence of soil, the evapotranspiration of the plants, the large size of the internal space, and the extensive transparent surfaces.
However, if farmers want to generate more energy, they can further reduce the amount of light transmitted. Transparent solar panels limit the use of primary energy sources (petroleum, natural gas) for heating and cooling the greenhouse, reducing greenhouses' energy footprint.
