Hanergy offers a shining solution for boosting agriculture efficiency

Cunningly hidden among mountains of colored roses and gardening tools, Hanergy Group's stand at the recent Hortiflorexpo in Shanghai also had its very latest solar-power technology on show.

The display, by the biggest private thin-film solar energy producer in China, was all part of its efforts to help the country's agriculture industry to become greener.

Visitors gathered around one model in particular, the three-meter-long by two-meter-high, ultra-thin and lightweight solar panel, which can be easily installed on the roofs of agricultural greenhouses, said company officials.
