Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using solar power while growing the crops what is called a solar sharing, has attracted attention. In this study we want to do solar sharing more effectively while minimizing influence for the growth of the crops by distributing light to solar panels. We focused on the cheesecloth as one of the method to distribute solar light, we examined the generation increment of the solar battery by the reflection of the cheesecloth. It was confirmed that the amount of power generated by the solar cell is increased. We used a small solar battery as a substitute of a pyranometer. We manufactured the device for controlling the opening and closing of the cheesecloth with the pyranometer logger. We performed the growth investigation into crops by the difference in the transmissivity of the amount of sunlight. We confirmed the possibility of increasing the amount of power generation while minimizing the impact on the crops grown under the sunlight distribution device.
