Where the electricity goes
Power generated on a greenhouse roof is usually consumed on site. Climate control, irrigation pumps, ventilation and supplementary lighting all draw during the same daylight hours when the glazing produces, so much of the output never touches the grid.
That self-consumption is what makes the economics work. Electricity used where it is generated is worth the retail price rather than the feed-in tariff, and it avoids both transmission losses and the connection queues that hold up ground-mounted projects.
