A breakthrough study from Murdoch University in Perth, Australia shows how special solar windows could change the future of greenhouse farming. These windows do two jobs at once – they generate electricity while helping plants grow inside. “These transparent solar modules are a breakthrough in renewable energy technology, offering the potential to integrate solar cells into windows, buildings, and mobile devices,” says Professor Joondong Kim, who led the research published in the Journal of Power Sources. The research team found that solar grow-rooms consumed 56% of the energy used in conventional rooms while maintaining the same environment. This matters because … Continue reading Solar Windows Cut Greenhouse Energy Use by 57%
