Hence, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can be flexible for agrivoltaic setups, so enabling renewable energy facilities to be compatible with a more efficient and sustainable agriculture model .
PV modules show promising results to cover the electrical energy demands and ensure adequate crop production. However, the main issue with static conventional PV solar modules is the shading effect that causes a reduction in the photosynthetic efficiency of greenhouse crops.
This study presents a survey and evaluation of photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal collectors (STC), and photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar technologies for greenhouses. PV modules show promising results to cover the electrical energy demands and ensure adequate crop production.
Solar greenhouse agrivoltaic projects have achieved several benefits, such as partial shading and light modulation [11, 12]. Solar greenhouse configurations include transparent, semi-transparent, and opaque modules mounted on the roof or integrated with the building .
Conventional PV modules are integrated into the greenhouse roof, similar to the roof of a building, to provide electrical energy. For example, in arid and semi-arid regions, where cooling is mandatory, such as Mexico, a fan and pad cooling system’s demands were met with a PV greenhouse ( Romantchik et al., 2017 ).
This review reported the findings of theoretical and experimental studies that integrated solar technologies for greenhouse applications, emphasizing solar photovoltaic, thermal, and hybrid photovoltaic thermal systems. First, the application of different types of PV modules for greenhouses was reviewed in detail.
