GREENHOUSE
https://www.greengoldfarms.net/greenhouse/greenhouse-design-build/
• Greenhouses in tropical climates allow you to have more environmental
control and result in abundant harvests.
• Greenhouses allow growers to maximize potential yield while lowering
production costs. With the expansion of production profit margin, this could
give room to lowering consumer prices of vegetables while maintaining a
healthy profit margin for the grower. With the right construction plan and
crop selection, you can grow all year long. In building a greenhouse, you
might want to consider some factors first before proceeding to the actual
construction.
1. SIZE OF THE GREENHOUSE
• When planning to build a greenhouse for your farm or garden, you should
consider the size of the greenhouse that you want to have. The size of
greenhouse that you require will depend on a number of environmental
factors, such as terrain profile, climate and other environmental variables,
but the most important factor to take into account is the type of plants that
you plan to grow in your greenhouse.
2. WATER SYSTEM
• Many new growers use a hose to water their plants inside their greenhouse,
but a greenhouse should ideally have its own watering system. You might
need to consistently sprinkle water on your plants to maintain the moisture or
humidity that the plants require inside a greenhouse. Forgetting to water
your plants for one day could have disastrous consequences, so you should
consider getting an internal water system, such as a sprinkler
system or fogging/misting system or drip irrigation system, set up for efficient
functioning of the greenhouse. Advanced growers understand the need to
provide clean, fresh water that is pH adjusted to the grow media used in
their systems.
3. HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS
• Another important factor to consider when setting up a greenhouse is a
heating and/or cooling system. This is really important as maintaining the
optimum temperature, relative humidity, and vapor pressure difference
inside the greenhouse is paramount in plant growth and yield.
Understanding the relationship between the environment and plant
physiology is important for plant transpiration inside the greenhouse.
Remember that without a proper heating and/or cooling system in place,
the plants can end up dying in greenhouse cultivation despite having ample
nutrients and sunlight.
4. DESIGN OF GREENHOUSE
• Greenhouses are available in various shapes and sizes and you should select
one that best suits your requirements based on environmental factors. It also
depends on your personal preference and the plants that you wish to grow
in your greenhouse. In tropical environments, be aware that high
temperatures are detrimental to the growth of plants therefore the need to
provide ventilation through the top and laterals of the greenhouse. Using fine
mesh netting not only helps with ventilation, it also prevent the tiniest of
bugs/insects to enter the greenhouse. Greenhouses in the tropics are also
subject to frequent rains and typhoons, so ensure that the roof design can
handle excessive rainwater and that the necessary foundation works and
structural reinforcements are in place.
• There are many types and
models to consider in choosing
which greenhouse type best fits
the surrounding environmental
factors. Considering the tropical
climate in the Philippines, the
best greenhouse design type is
the ‘tropic-type’ greenhouse
design. The tropic-type model
greenhouse offers superior
protection against tropical
conditions characterized by high
heat and humidity in the dry
season and occurrence of heavy
rains showers during monsoon
season.
SOLAR PANELS

Technical_Manual_for_the_MENA_Region.pdf
HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS TO SUPPLY
AN AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD?
• Garrison stated that the typical home is approximately 1,500 square feet,
with electrical costs of about $100 per month. Such a house generally needs
about 16 panels to completely cover electrical power needs.
• If you are looking to heat water for the average family of four, two solar
thermal panels would be needed, Garrison explained. “The average hot
water consumption is offset by about 70 percent.”

HOW DO SOLAR PANELS GENERATE ELECTRICITY?
• PV solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity. With
DC electricity, electrons flow in one direction around a circuit.
This example shows a battery powering a light bulb. The
electrons mov e from the negativ e side of the battery, through
the lamp, and return to the positiv e side of the battery.
• With AC (alternating current) electricity, electrons are pushed
and pulled, periodically rev ersing direction, much like the
cylinder of a car’s engine. Generators create AC electricity
when a coil of wire is spun next to a magnet. Many different
energy sources can “turn the handle” of this generator, such
as gas or diesel fuel, hydroelectricity, nuclear, coal, wind, or
solar.
• AC electricity was chosen for the U.S. electrical power grid,
primarily because it is less expensiv e to transmit ov er long
distances. Howev er, solar panels create DC electricity. How
do we get DC electricity into the AC grid? We use an inv erter.
SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS CAN BE
CATEGORISED INTO THREE TYPES:
1- SMALL INDEPENDENT UNITS The small independent solar power units only operate on solar energy and are
not connected to a public grid. They are usually used for streetlights, garden lighting, small watering pumps or
any other limited energy consuming dev ice.
2-SUPPORT SYSTEMS For the support systems, solar energy is not the only source of energy, but is rather used as
part of the energy mix to cov er the electricity demand. In such a system, the hotel relies mainly on their main
power source e.g. the public grid and the solar system cov ers only partial demand during daytime.
3-STAND-ALONE SYSTEMS In the stand-alone system, solar energy is the main source of electricity. An
additional back-up system needs to be integrated to cov er the energy demand during night time. The system
can be enhanced with either another source of renewable energy such as wind turbines or a conv entional
source, such as diesel generators or batteries.
THE EFFICIENCY OF A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
DEPENDS ON THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
• Choice of efficient module technology and type of modules
• Design of module strings and areas
• Choice of inverters, suitable to the modules and design
• Losses in wiring
• Operational conditions (e.g. temperatures)
• Project installation (e.g. orientation, inclination, shading)
• Location
• Power demand profile in case of oversized sys - tems
HOW DOES A SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM
WORK?
• Here’s an example of how a home solar energy installation works. First, sunlight hits a
solar panel on the roof. The panels convert the energy to DC current, which flows to
an inverter. The inverter converts the electricity from DC to AC, which you can then
use to power your home. It’s beautifully simple and clean, and it’s getting more
efficient and affordable all the time.
• However, what happens if you’re not home to use the electricity your solar panels
are generating every sunny day? And what happens at night when your solar
system is not generating power in real time? Don’t worry, you still benefit through a
system called “net metering.”
• A typical grid-tied PV system, during peak daylight hours, frequently produces more
energy than one customer needs, so that excess energy is fed back into the grid for
use elsewhere. The customer gets credit for the excess energy produced, and can
use that credit to draw from the conventional grid at night or on cloudy days. A net
meter records the energy sent compared to the energy received from the grid.
