Determining the suitable PV cover ratio involves finding the optimal balance between power production, greenhouse energy supplementation, and solar energy reduction. This approach ensures that the greenhouse maximizes the benefits of power generation while effectively utilizing solar resources and reducing energy costs.
However, it is impossible to achieve net-zero or nearly zero energy consumption greenhouse only by relying on the power generation of PV greenhouse. Nearly zero energy solar greenhouse or NZESG was considered to be a way to save energy and improve food production at the same time (Boccalatte et al., 2021).
Photovoltaic power generation can provide energy for greenhouses and achieve high quality and high yield of crops. In reality, solar irradiance is fluctuating and intermittent. Thus, the key to ensure efficient photovoltaic power use under greenhouse environmental conditions is to provide an accurate prediction of solar irradiance.
