Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5491440· OSTI ID:5491440
; ;
Research underway on solar energy use in various agricultural applications is reviewed: grain drying, heating and cooling of greenhouses and rural residences, heating livestock shelters, drying crops other than grain, food processing, and irrigation. Solar energy systems for agriculture are in an early stage of development; this study makes an exploratory economic assessment of current and prospective solar energy technologies.
