When building greenhouses or purchasing supporting facilities, the most important thing is the covering material. At this point, inexperienced growers often wonder, do I use glass or sunboard? In fact, this is also a good choice. When it comes to transparency, it is recommended to choose glass, and when it comes to insulation performance, choose PC solar panels.

The key to constructing a greenhouse is to allow light to enter the interior of the greenhouse to obtain good heat, ensuring the temperature and natural growth of crops. In recent years, the development of greenhouse greenhouses has also made rapid progress, especially PC solar panels, which have made their performance more excellent in many aspects and are no less impressive than glass.

1. Daylighting
As is well known, glass is transparent, allowing more light to enter the interior of the greenhouse directly. PC solar panels can distort the entry, also known as flash light. In fact, the diffuse reflection effect below the crop will be better because direct light can burn or cause them to overheat. Diffuse light can reach all the surrounding areas of crops and be evenly illuminated. Instead of most of the light reaching the top. In this case, plants often grow faster.

2. Temperature
The temperature of a greenhouse mainly relies on the sun to provide energy and promote healthy growth. Glass can be quickly heated and cooled, so it does not retain heat for a long time. PC solar panels are actually made of a double-layer structure, and this type of solar panel with internal buffer space has better insulation than glass.

3. Durability
Glass fragility is an issue that cannot be ignored, but as long as the glass is not broken and can be used for a long time, the surface of PC solar panels generally needs to be treated with ultraviolet protective agents to prevent yellowing and decomposition. Glass does not require this additional treatment, and if there is any damage, only some parts need to be repaired or replaced. This type of solar panel manufacturer generally has a warranty of ten years, but can actually be used for more than fifteen years.

4. Maintenance
As long as the PC sunshine board is installed properly, it hardly requires maintenance, but the glass is different. According to the transmittance, appearance, etc., it needs to be cleaned regularly according to usage. In summer, it is necessary to avoid more direct sunlight, install an external shading system, and install ventilation and forced cooling systems to increase air circulation and reduce the temperature of the greenhouse.

5. Cost
The cost of glass and PC solar panels used for greenhouse cover varies depending on the thickness, service life, or quality of the materials. The covering materials for greenhouse cover are the soul of greenhouse engineering. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to choose high-quality products that can last for many years when investing. Although using cheap materials temporarily can save a lot of expenses, replacing them every few years often increases costs and labor for long-term operations. It's not as good as being in place once, it's like investing and benefiting for life.
