What is Solar Thermal Application

This chapter includes brief description of different solar thermal applications of greenhouse structure based on the different research work done in this area. It provides the basic knowledge of the use of solar energy to increase the production of different agricultural products using greenhouse system, e.g., crop production and drying of agricultural products. The chapter includes the introduction of greenhouse system, the definition, the concept, and the importance of greenhouse technology. The uses of various solar thermal applications in different greenhouse systems such as flat plate collector in greenhouse fish pond system and application of photovoltaic system in greenhouse drying are covered in this chapter.
