Improvements in photovoltaic electricity systems are making them more attractive for greenhouses. Photovoltaic systems with efficiencies as high as 40 percent are now available at a cost that results in a reasonable payback. Also, systems that can be integrated with the greenhouse are being installed. Let''s look at some of the options.
In this regard, the integration of a variety of solar energy technologies with greenhouses including PV, PVT, and solar thermal collectors are discussed. Also, the integration of both latent and sensible thermal energy storage systems to improve the performance of solar-powered greenhouses are deeply investigated.
Also, the integration of both latent and sensible thermal energy storage systems to improve the performance of solar-powered greenhouses are deeply investigated. The main conclusions derived from the present study can be summarized as follow:
Exergy analysis of the PV/T integrated greenhouse shows that an average exergy efficiency of approximately 4% is achieved from the said system. The yearly net electrical energy saving is 716 kW h and yearly exergy thermal energy is 12.8 kW h for a temperature range in the greenhouse about 25–45 °C.
