Photovoltaic Greenhouses: Where energy efficiency meets sustainable farming

As the demand for sustainable agriculture grows, so does the need for innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact while increasing productivity. One such solution gaining rapid momentum is the photovoltaic greenhouse — a smart combination of solar energy production and crop cultivation under the same roof.

But how does it work, and why is it becoming such a vital part of the future of farming?

What Are Photovoltaic Greenhouses?
Photovoltaic (PV) greenhouses integrate solar panels into the structure of the greenhouse itself, typically on the roof or upper walls. These panels generate clean, renewable electricity that can power the greenhouse systems (lighting, heating, irrigation) or be fed into the grid — turning your farm into an energy producer.
