Given the aging of greenhouse facility, there is a need for investigating the transformation of
existing greenhouses to maximize solar energy utilization. In this study, Chinese solar …

To maximize the use of solar energy and increase the building area of solar greenhouses in
China, a light radiation model for solar greenhouses is established. This model integrates …

The front roof of the solar greenhouse captures more solar radiation energy, the height of the
rear wall exposed to direct sunlight is high and the last row of crop canopy receives direct …

The existing Chinese solar greenhouse (CSG) had different spatial structure types, which
spatial structure can make the greenhouse fully utilize solar energy and obtain the best …

Chinese solar greenhouses (CSG) are fully passive solar greenhouses for growing
vegetables without auxiliary heating during the winter. The building parameters then have …

The energy-saving solar greenhouse (ESSG) represents a Chinese-type agricultural
building of facilitating low-energy and zero-carbon vegetable overwintering production in …

Energy consumption of solar greenhouse depends on the thermal insulation performance
and thermal storage capacity of thermal storage wall. To find the best composition scheme …

Determining the optimal shape for greenhouses that is suitable for cold northern regions is
essential for non-seasonal fruit production. In the present study, a structural model was …

In order to further improve the utilization of solar energy in Chinese Solar Greenhouse
(CSG), this paper systematically studied the effects of orientation and structure on solar …

In greenhouse horticulture, solar energy is the key to extending the greenhouse using
seasonal or daily thermal storage technology and decreasing the energy consumption rate …
