Growth in large-scale PV development can create land use disputes, especially in instances of competition between land for agriculture versus energy production , , . This history and growing concern over land use highlights the challenge of meeting the soaring demands for solar power while conserving rural and agricultural lands .
Efficiency values of 15.1% for solar to H 2 conversion have been reported [5, 6]. These H 2 panels open the doorway to efficient, low cost, autonomous and safe solar H 2 generation. This technology offers an alternative for electricity storage or density problems by providing fuel for e.g., high-power agricultural machinery.
The major challenge for agricultural greenhouses is to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO 2 emissions. 3 Solar and wind energy are the two most viable renewable energy resources in the world due to their availability and topological advantages, that is, for local power generations in remote and isolated areas, even though the promotion of renewable energy sources is to
