ETC Greenhouse

The black squares are parts in a photovoltaic system (solar cells) that produce electricity and yet you have enough light for the plants inside the greenhouse. Solar cells can convert more energy when the sun is shining and less in cloudy conditions. The solar cells in the roof and on the ground can convert more energy when the sun is high in the sky, the solar cells in the wall convert more when the sun is low. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) will increasingly influence our built environment, roofs, walls, windows and so on.
