The power needs of a greenhouse can vary significantly based on its size, the climate, and the specific plants being cultivated. But in any circumstances, you can rely on solar power to meet its energy needs. At A1 SolarStore, you can find solar panels for a greenhouse for sale and get a consultation with our engineer.
Greenhouse essential systems that typically require electricity include lighting, heating, ventilation, and irrigation. Grow lights are crucial for providing the necessary spectrum of light for photosynthesis, especially during the winter months or in regions with limited sunlight. Heating systems are vital for maintaining optimal temperatures for plant growth, which can include electric heaters or more advanced systems like heat mats and radiant heating. Ventilation is necessary to regulate temperature and humidity levels, often involving exhaust fans, circulation fans, and automatic vent openers. Irrigation systems, which may include pumps, timers, and drip irrigation lines, ensure plants receive adequate water without manual intervention.
A solar panel kit for a greenhouse can take care of all of these needs — provided it is large enough. The kit usually contains solar panels, an inverter, a battery and a charge controller. The battery is not required if you don’t need an uninterrupted power supply.
Here are the benefits of using solar panels for greenhouse heating, ventilation and lighting:
Any solar panels can be used to provide power for a greenhouse. The difference is in how you choose to install them. A greenhouse can be powered by a nearby ground-mounted installation. If the structure is solid enough, you can even put bifacial solar panels on the greenhouse roof since they let the light through. Make sure that the roof can withstand the weight of PV modules though.
The TSM-DE09C.07 is an excellent solar panel for a greenhouse at an affordable price. The Vertex S is a bifacial solar panel, meaning it has solar cells on the rear side that boost overall production. This model comes with a 25-year warranty for both product and performance. Additionally, its half-cut cell technology enhances efficiency, making the TSM-DE09C.07 a highly effective and reliable solar panel.
The Q CELLS XL G10.3 is rated at 480W, with the potential for the rear side to increase production by up to 20-25% on a good day. The Q.Peak Duo XL G10.3/BFG achieves an efficiency of 20.7% without considering the bifacial gain. Its design enhances performance in low-light conditions. This solar panel is backed by a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year performance guarantee.
The JA-JAM72-D30-545MB, part of JA Solar's popular DeepBlue 3.0 Series, utilizes advanced technologies for enhanced efficiency and reliability. With Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology, it captures up to 12% more energy by using a reflective back layer to maximize photon absorption. The panel also features half-cut cell technology, which reduces resistive losses and improves shade tolerance with its 144 half-sized cells, achieving an impressive 21.1% efficiency. As a bifacial module, it absorbs photons from both sides, making it up to 30% more efficient than conventional panels. A great solar panel for greenhouse heater, it might be able to take care of heating by itself.
