The development of next-generation greenhouses in agriculture is driving a growing demand for innovative systems that can address both energy and food supply simultaneously. Currently, agriculture heavily relies on fossil fuels, particularly heavy oil, as its primary energy source, new technologies must be explored to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ensuring a stable food supply is crucial for increasing self-sufficiency rates, but the installation of traditional silicon solar cells has presented challenges due to shading effects, leading to reduced crop yields. Under this situation, green-light wavelength-selective organic solar cells (GLWS-OSCs) have been developed, whose transmitted blue and red light can be effectively used to promote plant growth. Furthermore, green light can be effectively utilized for power generation and can be used as a source of electricity for greenhouses.
