    Abstract: A solar powered greenhouse is an apparatus that harnesses electricity from sunlight and manages sunlight exposure with plants housed within the apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing, at least one photovoltaic glass layer, at least one adjustable-opacity panel, a solar inverter, a solar batter, a microcontroller, and a control pad. The housing maintains a desired environment for plants. The at least one photovoltaic glass layer allows sunlight to enter the housing, collecting and converting the sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The at least one adjustable-opacity panel controls sunlight entering the housing. The solar inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. The AC electricity is stored with the solar battery. The at least one photovoltaic glass layer, the at least one adjustable-opacity panel, the solar inverter, the solar battery, and the control pad are controlled by the microcontroller and managed by a user with the control pad.
