Abstract
Simulation of the spectral transmission of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), with and without water flow, was validated through laboratory experiments. A sensitivity analysis of the influence of the optical parameters on the transmission of the accumulated PAR and on crop yield for the complete solar desalination roof greenhouse are shown to give adequate representation of the relationships between light transmission and seasonal crop yield production sufficient to produce design guidelines for the desalination concept manufacturers or growers.
