SOLAR GREEN HOUSE NOTES
Sunlight is generally considered a plentiful resource; the exceptions highlight the importance of solar energy to agriculture.
Agriculture and horticulture seek to optimize the capture of solar energy in order to optimize the productivity of plants.
Greenhouses convert solar light to heat, enabling year-round production and the growth of specialty crops and other plants not
naturally suited to the local climate. Various strategies are commonly used to extend the spring and fall growing seasons by a few
weeks.
