• Cuts out harmful UV light that causes plant scorching
• Transmission in infra-red spectrum to provide the greenhouse effect
• Overhead shading reduces excessive heat gain and plant transpiration
• Conductive layer in glass reflects heat to maintain a more consistent temperatures
• Allows through red light spectrum needed for photosynthesis absorbing blue spectrum for electricity generation
• Marginal impact on plant yield*
• Offers additional functional benefits (reduced water consumption, reduced energy use on ventilation and heating)
• Marginal Additional cost in installation
• Meets future building regulations
• Delivers a direct financial return

Polysolar’s Solar PV Greenhouses can not only deliver energy savings but a wide range of performance improvements by incorporating latest technologies such as variable spectrum LED lighting, heat exchange pumps, water harvesting, etc.
