Check out the “Springs Preserve” in Las Vegas NV. The parking lot there has a PV system that allows light to pass through the panels. I don't remember the manufacturer but it is one of the more popular brands. I live her in Vegas and I am quite impressed with the design.

We are about to find out transparante solar greenhouse project in Greenland
We try to find out how much light comes through the products and at what price.
will be glad to cooperate across borders.

We are in process of organizing a design and engineering team to build commercial greenhouse solar project in Asia (1000 acre of land with $400 million budget). Please recommend me of companies that are suitable for this type of project.

A yurt shaped green house with regular glass and some photovoltaic sunflowers inside is going to be much more efficient

The see-thru panels from suntech transmit only 10% of the light for roughly 5% efficiency and I believe their cost would be much higher than standard photovoltaic panels with much higher (15%) efficiencies.

For a greenhouse, it would therefore be more economical to cover part – say 50% – of your greenhouse with standard solar panels.

As for the aesthetics, it’s a matter of personal taste. I do not find greenhouses particularly pleasing aesthetically.

The links to suntech have changed, you might want to update.

I just referenced your post in my blog, thanks.
