  2. The Importance of Selecting the Right Panel Material • Optimal Light Transmission: The right panel ensures optimal light for plants. Polycarbonate reduces hot spots and promotes uniform distribution. • Durability and Weather Resistance: Durable materials like polycarbonate or acrylic withstand harsh weather and UV radiation. • Thermal Insulation: Proper panels maintain stable temperatures, reduce energy costs, and protect plants from temperature fluctuations.

  3. Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic: Properties

  4. Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic: Key Drawbacks Polycarbonate • Cost: More expensive upfront compared to acrylic. • Scratch Susceptibility: More prone to scratches and abrasions. • Yellowing: Can yellow over time if UV protection is inadequate. Acrylic • Brittleness: More prone to cracking and breaking under impact. • Insulation: Less effective thermal insulation compared to polycarbonate. • Flexibility: Less flexible, limiting its use for certain designs.

  5. Factors Affecting Greenhouse Panel Choice • Climate: Local weather conditions (temperature, sunlight, wind, snow load) • Budget: Cost of materials and installation • Plant Requirements: Light, temperature, humidity needs • Durability: Expected lifespan and resistance to damage • Aesthetics: Desired appearance of the greenhouse • Insulation: Heat retention needs for climate control
