What is a solar greenhouse and what are its main functions?

Solar greenhouse generally refers to a greenhouse with a single roof and solar energy as the main energy source. The solar greenhouse used to produce big cherries basically does not need heating, and it relies on storing solar energy during the day and keeping the temperature tight at night to maintain the temperature needed for the growth and development of big cherries.

At present, solar greenhouses promoted in China's production are generally based on local conditions and local materials. Because of its low cost and easy construction, heating is not needed in winter. Therefore, it saves energy consumption and has high economic benefits, which is welcomed by farmers.

The main functions of solar greenhouse include: lighting, heat storage, temperature regulation, humidity regulation, wind prevention, ventilation and so on. Because solar greenhouse mainly relies on solar energy to maintain indoor temperature, it is more risky in areas and years with more cloudy days in winter.
