Power generation estimate of flexible PV Panel for a solar matching house

Abstract

Solar matching systems, which are specialized systems for use in sunlight-type plant factories, have recently been attracting significant attention. In such systems, filtered blue and red light, which are necessary for photosynthesis, are applied to plant growth, while the unneeded green light is used for electric power generation. Since accurate estimates of photovoltaic (PV) power generation amounts are important for efficient energy operations, this paper proposes a method for estimating the power generation of flexible PV cells mounted on the roof/wall surface of a solar matching greenhouse.
