A greenhouse for underwater cultivation of terrestrial plant species comprising a dome (2) suitable for being filled with air in an underwater environment, provided with an aperture (21) for lower access and made of a material that is impermeable to water and permeable to light, such dome comprising means for restraining to the sea floor, and means for adjusting the level of water/air in the dome itself which must ensure that plant species cultivated in the greenhouse always reside above such level. Inside such dome a system for the automatic irrigation of the cultivated plants is present comprising a tubular structure (3) on which a plurality of mutually spaced holes (31) is provided, inside which supports are placed for housing and cultivating plant species, irrigation water flowing inside such tubular structure and irrigating such supports in order to achieve a hydroponic culture.

The embodiments are apparatuses, systems and methods of water management and icicle prevention for solar carports, and are designed to catch drips between rows of, and water run-off from, the low side of inclined photovoltaic modules arranged to form the roof of the solar carport or canopy.

A screen installation comprising a screen cloth assembly (22) with a screen cloth (7) and at least one flat strip (21) fastened to the screen cloth, as well as screen sections (8, 18), to opposite edges of the screen cloth, at least one screen section of which has an undercut chamber (20) and a longitudinal opening (23) that opens into this chamber, wherein the strip is accommodated in the chamber of the at least one screen section so that the screen cloth fastened to it can extend outwards from it through the longitudinal opening of the screen section. The strip (21) is fastened at a distance from the adjacent free edge of the screen cloth (7) in the form of a free screen cloth flap (19). The screen cloth flap extends from the strip and via the longitudinal opening (23) of the at least one screen section (8, 18) outwards from it.

A new integrated unitary system for producing electricity for a greenhouse or other metal carpentry structure associates a photovoltaic system, an innovative apparatus reflecting solar radiation, and an innovative water system for cooling and washing photovoltaic panels, which are all combined with the greenhouse or the metal carpentry structure.

A plant growing systemfor growing vertically grown plants, particularly of the fruit bearing type. The system includes at least one track having at least two guides extending substantially parallel at a distance from each other, and a plurality of plant carriers each comprising a gutter for holding plants. The plant carriers extend transversally with respect to the track and are movable along the track. The plant carriers are suspended from the track. A plant carrier used in such a system. A method of growing vertically grown plants, in particular of the fruit bearing type, includes providing plants in gutters of plant carriers and moving the plant carriers along at least one track while suspending the plant carriers from the at least one track.

An open-top gutter for cultivation of plants. In an example, the open-top gutter comprises at least one water space formed by a double edge and being closed at the top, or almost closed. The water space is open at the bottom of the gutter. In an example, the open-top gutter includes at least one separate water space formed by a partially double bottom and connected to the bottom of the gutter via a bottom gap. In an example, the open-top gutter includes a space limited by two side walls and a bottom wall and divided into trough-like compartments by at least one dividing wall. The dividing wall includes at least one water space formed by a double wall, open at the bottom of the gutter.
