ININSA's photovoltaic multi-span greenhouse (PV) is a structure designed specifically to integrate photovoltaic modules into the roof, enabling simultaneous crop production and electricity generation.
Voltiris, a Vaud-based energy start-up, has partnered with EBL and Eschbach Gemüsebau to pilot its revolutionary solar modules for greenhouses, offering a sustainable energy solution without compromising plant growth.
Indeed, solar panels can provide energy to operate the electrical components within a greenhouse, including heating systems, lighting, and water pumps. Such a structure equipped with solar panels is simply known as a solar-powered greenhouse.
Thin-film panels are lightweight and flexible, often used for commercial or curved surfaces, though less efficient compared to crystalline types. In 2025, Portuguese homeowners can expect to pay between €900 and €1,300 per installed kW. That includes equipment, labor, and basic.
For greenhouses, consider using semi-transparent or building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels that allow some sunlight through while generating electricity.
