In this regard, renewable energies represent an innovative solution to reduce energy costs and environmental impacts. Both, the energy demands and the economic aspects are analyzed with regard to the main energy users, i.e.: heating and cooling systems, lighting and pumping for irrigation. This work considers the use of solar photovoltaic and thermal energy. The use of semi-closed greenhouses is also considered.} url={http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=65489}, author={Emanuela Sirica and Felicia Cavaleri and Carlo Greco and Angeliki Kavga and Orlando Santo and Rigoglioso Domenico} pages={143-160}, language={EN}}
