High-performance, spectrally engineered semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) have been developed for greenhouse applications. Empowered by the newly designed multi-component blends, quaternary OSCs
As solar energy and palm oil are exploitable, prospective, and widely used natural resources (Dey et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2019), these advantages have caught the attention of some countries with
Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is one of the world''s most promising options for carbon emission reduction. However, whether the operation period of solar parks can increase greenhouse gas (GHG

By placing PV systems on roof top or integrating to greenhouse structure, the large availability of surfaces taken up by greenhouses is able to grow agricultural products below while producing self-consumed energy on the top, which allows the multifunction role of one land .
According to an estimation by Emmott et al. [ 118 ], if all poly-tunnels in China could be transformed into PV greenhouses, 415 GW p of PV capacity could be provided: capacity sufficient to meet almost 15% of the national electricity demand.
PV greenhouses have been deployed throughout southern Europe. Typically, a large fraction of the greenhouse roof is occupied by PV modules to feed electricity into local electrical grids. Crop production in such greenhouses would be reduced if an excessive area of the roof were covered by PV panels.
However, crop production in PV greenhouses can be penalized because of reduction of the internal sunlight level. Dynamic daily or seasonal behaviors of PV array shadows cast on crops have been demonstrated [ 155, 173, 175 ].

Greenhouses are typically built on open fields with good sunshine availability because of the fundamentally important demand of sunlight for crop photosynthesis. Therefore, such locations are invariably suitable for PV electricity production [ 34 ].
