Solar Radiation Allocation and Spatial Distribution in Chinese Solar Greenhouses: Model Development and Application

Solar radiation is the sole energy source for Chinese solar greenhouse agriculture. A favorable light environment is the foundation of a desirable crop growth environment, and it is key in solar greenhouse design. In this study, a mathematical model is established to quantitatively evaluate the sola...
