Solyndra showcased a new solar application for agricultural greenhouse and shade structures at Intersolar Europe that takes advantage of light being able to pass through Solyndra's tubular thin-film PV panel design. PV-Tech talked to Gernot Steinlesberger, Vice President of Marketing at Solyndra about the novel technology and its applications in the potential huge agricultural greenhouse market. Solyndra has worked closely with Research CeRSAA in Italy and the Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis, which had confirmed the improved nature of the panel design and its ability to support crop growth underneath while generating electricity.
