Abstract

As one of the main projects of facility agriculture promotion, the photovoltaic greenhouse has the problems of photovoltaic power generation competing for light with crop production, strong indoor chiaroscuro, and uneven light distribution. The internal light uniformity is tested by a zigzag greenhouse model to compare the light transmission effects of different light-transmitting materials applied to photovoltaic greenhouses. 20 line\inch 3mm and 30 line\inch 3mm, 40 line\inch 2mm, 25 line\inch 4mm grating plates, 2mm, and 3mm thick ordinary glass were used as light transmitting components, and the light intensity and light uniformity in the greenhouse were the measurement indicators. The results show that the use of grating plates as covering material can improve the light intensity at the intersection of light and dark, but the overall light transmittance is not as good as glass, because it is plastic which is easy to age with low light transmittance. It can also improve the use of land under the shade of photovoltaic modules to provide a better growth environment for crops. Test results show that the use of a 2mm thick 40-line grating plate can maximize the light intensity of the greenhouse, and the peak value can reach 69336 Lx. In sunny weather, the light intensity from point G to point I in the greenhouse is greater than 20,000 Lx, and the light environment in other areas is between 5,000 Lx and 20,000 Lx, which is suitable for planting shade-loving crops.
