- Abstract
When solar radiation meets the leaf of a plant, there occur three optical phenomena: reflection (~10%), transmission (-27%) and absorption (-63%). hi photosynthesis, the emitted spectrum by a lighting source (natural or electric) is not entirely used by plants, only the radiation in the range of 400 - 480nm (blue and purple) and 580 - 680nm (red and orange). The artificial light can stimulate the crop production, in specific conditions and with a very careful system design, considering both energetic and biologic aspects. The paper opens a broad interdisciplinary study direction, also actual - as the management of food resources in the world becomes a serious problem, and the deeper integration of technology in agriculture is no longer a trend but a necessity. The paper assess the use of PV panels to supply the growing-plant lighting systems placed in protected or far areas where the grid is absent, as a green power source alternative.
