Why Tunisia’s Climate Demands Smart Solar Solutions

With over 3,000 hours of annual sunlight, Tunisia’s agricultural sector is ripe for photovoltaic glass greenhouses. These structures combine crop cultivation with solar energy generation – a dual solution for farmers seeking sustainability. But how do you choose the right one? Let’s break it down like a perfectly ripe Tunisian date: sweet, practical, and packed with value.

Key Factors Shaping Your Choice

• Solar conversion efficiency (18-22% is the current industry sweet spot)
• Light transmittance for plant growth (65-85% optimal range)
• Durability against Mediterranean sandstorms
• Temperature control systems for desert temperature swings
