Solar energy was used to cool a greenhouse growing cucumbers by painting its cover and using an evaporative cooling system. A mathematical model was created to predict the greenhouse's environment, and a field experiment validated the results. The cooling system, powered by solar panels, reduced the temperature by 10° and increased cucumber yield while using less water. This system can be effective in similar environments to improve agricultural production.
