Research from pv magazine indicates that semi-transparent silicon photovoltaic greenhouses can increase tomato fruit weight while producing electricity. A study conducted in Spain evaluated different agrivoltaic designs to identify shading levels beneficial for plant growth.
The investigation compared four greenhouse setups over two growing seasons. These included a control structure, one with a shading net, and two equipped with distinct semi-transparent solar technologies. One used monocrystalline silicon modules and the other employed cadmium telluride thin-film modules, both with fifty percent transparency.
Microclimatic conditions such as air temperature and light levels were monitored frequently inside each test unit. The silicon photovoltaic system generated more electrical energy across both seasons than the thin-film alternative. Light availability for plants was also higher in the silicon greenhouse, meeting required thresholds for optimal development during one season.
The research noted that tomato plants in the silicon photovoltaic greenhouse yielded fruits with a mean weight twenty-five percent greater than those in the control greenhouse. This outcome was linked to more favorable nighttime temperatures and higher soil moisture levels. The silicon-based system demonstrated an effective balance between managing solar radiation, regulating temperature, and producing energy.
The findings were detailed in a paper published in Smart Agricultural Technology. The work involved researchers from Spanish and Italian academic institutions.
