Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC): effects on light quality, microclimate, and growth of Orthosiphon stamineus in tropical climatic condition

The main challenge facing greenhouse designers is to achieve environment-appropriate greenhouses, especially in tropical regions. The excess radiant energy transmitted into the greenhouse predisposes plants to photo-inhibition and consequently reduces crop production. Lately, photovoltaic (PV) modul...
