Nowadays, heating a greenhouse with solar is a good choice. Active solar systems are too targeted for ordinary people, while passive solar systems are more suitable for auxiliary use. Therefore, the most suitable choice is to use a solar panel system and electric heating equipment to heat the greenhouse.
You must determine whether your greenhouse's solar PV system is grid-connected (connected to the utility's grid) or off-grid. If you build an off-grid solar system, it must have a battery energy storage system. Otherwise, you cannot use solar energy to heat your greenhouse at night or in sunny weather conditions.
According to the literature review, there is a lack of hourly-based operation optimization for a solar energy system with long-term heat storage to cover greenhouse energy demand. Operating the solar energy system hourly for an entire year is crucial since the greenhouse heating load has a significant seasonal effect.
Without leaving the grid, a small or medium-sized greenhouse may need at least 8 400W solar panels. - Heating a greenhouse with solar energy requires evaluating its heating needs, installing solar photovoltaic systems and electric heating equipment, and supplementing with passive solar technology.
Although installing a solar greenhouse costs money, using free solar energy can reduce operating costs. Many greenhouse operators report the payback period for heating a greenhouse with solar energy is 5-10 years. Stable Energy Supply Solar panels can provide greenhouses with a certain degree of energy independence, reducing dependence on the grid.
In addition to installing a solar PV system and electric heating equipment, you can heat your greenhouse using passive solar techniques. Thermal Mass Heat Storage: Place buckets, rocks or concrete walls in the greenhouse to absorb heat during the day and slowly release it at night.
