Cees Kattenberg from SikaEnergy has developed a lens construction that can be placed underneath the glass deck. It will create a very hot light beam (100-120 degrees Celsius) that can heat up water in the tubes that are mounted underneath it. By doing this, a greenhouse can become completely self sufficient.
