Transparent solar cells boost lettuce farming while decreasing energy use
Transparent solar cells boost lettuce farming while decreasing energy use New research found transparent solar cells can help greenhouse growers generate electricity and reduce energy use while cultivating crops Greenhouse farming of lettuce can be sustainable and energy efficient under transparent solar cells. That’s according to a new study by a team of researchers at North Carolina State University, which suggests semi-transparent organic solar cells (OSCs) can help greenhouse growers generate electricity, reduce energy use and cultivate lettuce. Researchers, who have worked with the or...
