Adding semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) to a greenhouse structure enables simultaneous plant cultivation and electricity generation, thereby reducing the greenhouse energy demand. However, there is a need to establish the impact of such systems on plant growth and indoor climate and to optimize system tradeoffs. In this work, we consider plant growth under OSCs and system-relevant design. We evaluate the growth of red leaf lettuce under ST-OSC filters and compare the impact of three different OSC active layers that have unique transmittance. We find no significant differences in the fresh weight and chlorophyll content of the lettuce grown under these OSC filters. In addition, OSCs provide an opportunity for further light and thermal management of the greenhouse through device design and optical coatings. The OSCs can thus affect plant growth, power generation, and thermal load of the greenhouse, and this design trade space is reviewed and exemplified.

在温室结构中添加半透明有机太阳能电池（ST-OSC）可以同时进行植物种植和发电，从而减少了温室能源需求。但是，需要确定此类系统对植物生长和室内气候的影响，并优化系统的权衡。在这项工作中，我们考虑了OSC和与系统相关的设计下的植物生长。我们评估了ST-OSC滤光片下红生菜的生长，并比较了具有独特透射率的三种不同OSC活性层的影响。我们发现在这些OSC过滤器下生菜的鲜重和叶绿素含量没有显着差异。另外，OSC通过设备设计和光学涂层为温室的进一步光和热管理提供了机会。
