Electricity demand in worldwide greenhouses is presented. Solar cells are applicable to greenhouses in various ways. Greenhouse-installed photovoltaics can generate large amounts of electricity. Photovoltaic panel shading affects plants below the panels. 1. Introduction
Greenhouses are typically built on open fields with good sunshine availability because of the fundamentally important demand of sunlight for crop photosynthesis. Therefore, such locations are invariably suitable for PV electricity production [ 34 ].
Roof whitening and shading nets are used conventionally to mitigate excessive summer sunlight for greenhouses in high-insolation regions, reflecting part of the solar energy [ 72, 73, 75 ]. According to such measures, part of the incident solar radiation cannot be fully used [ 18, 90, 180 ].
