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.
The sun is not only your source of light for growth in the greenhouse, but your source of heat. Thus, if growing year-round in cold climates, you need to capture enough solar energy through your glazing to heat the greenhouse. Glazing is just a word for transparent materials, such as glass or clear rigid plastics.
Solar greenhouse design – and passive solar design in general – relies on the premise of strategically controlling light and heat gain. Namely, you want to maximize light when it is absolutely needed (the winter) and reduce light when it is abundant and creates too much heat (the summer).
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.
