The Sustainable Energy Saving Solutions for Greenhouse Systems using Renewable Energies Technologies

In this study, a comprehensive review on sustainable solutions for energy saving in greenhouse systems using renewable energies technologies is presented. Afterward the brief and concise assessment and identify of existing greenhouse systems and in order to notable reductions of energy consumption in greenhouses, topics such as total energy consumption; cost-effective, energy-efficient as well as environmentally friendly technologies are analyzed in detail. The technologies considered within the scope of this research are mainly renewable and sustainable based solutions such as photovoltaic (PV) modules, solar thermal collectors, hybrid PV/T collectors and systems, phase change material (PCM) and underground based heat storage techniques and energy-efficient heat pumps. The findings from the research reveal that up to 80% energy saving can be achieved through utiliztion of renewable energies technologies.
