Greenhouse
Researchers grown crops inside electricity, and generates solar greenhouse as healthy as those raise in normal greenhouses. These “smart” greenhouses hold to great promise for use both farming and renewable electricity production.
“These ‘smart greenhouses’ capture solar energy for electricity without reducing plant growth, which is pretty exciting,” said Michael Loik, professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Wavelength-Selective Photovoltaic Systems
Electricity-generating solar greenhouses use Wavelength-Selective Photovoltaic Systems (WSPVs). These greenhouses outfitted with transparent roof panels implanted with a dye, magenta luminescent, which absorbs light and transfers energy to small photovoltaic strips, where electricity produce.
WSPVs absorb blue and green wavelengths of light, and allowing the plants to grow. However, he research team observed photosynthesis and fruit production across 20 varieties of plants and basil grown in magenta glasshouses at two locations on campus and one in Watsonville, California.
