Abstract

Given that fossil fuels will one day end, there is a need to find alternative fuels. Renewable energy is an alternative to fossil fuels and nowadays attracts a lot of attention. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy is the most important because it is available worldwide. This energy source is also used in various industries including agriculture and can be used to grow crops in the world's most remote corners. In addition, this fuel does not cause pollution, such as other fossil fuels The use of solar energy can be active in all agricultural fields. This will certainly help meet the growing need for agricultural products as the population grows. However, agricultural land is known to have a fixed area, and sometimes, agricultural products cannot be cultivated. This greenhouse is a method used nowadays and the use of solar energy can help build solar greenhouses in areas far from the city. Other solar applications include irrigation, drying products and ventilation outlets. In this study, researchers discussed some of the benefits of solar energy in agriculture.
