BiPV Solar Glass for Greenhouses | Heliene
Replacing the glass panels on greenhouse roofs, Heliene''s GiPV modules allow greenhouses to run on 100% renewable energy which dramatically
A commercial greenhouse costs $2 to $25+ per square foot for labor and materials, depending on the size, type, and features. The larger the greenhouse, the less you'll pay per square foot in most cases. Large commercial greenhouses that are 1+ acres typically cost $2 to $4 per square foot to build. Most commercial greenhouses are at least 20' wide.
A basic 50 ft greenhouse made of PVC pipe and plastic sheeting can cost around $500, while a more complex structure made of aluminum framing and tempered glass can cost upwards of $10,000. It is important to carefully consider the intended use and budget when selecting the type of greenhouse to build.
A greenhouse costs $5 to $30 per square foot or $2,500 to $15,000 on average for a 500-square-foot structure. Building a large commercial greenhouse costs $2 to $25 per square foot. The cost to build a greenhouse depends on the size, materials, and whether it's prefab or custom-built. Get free estimates from greenhouse builders near you.
Keep in mind that a $5,000 polycarbonate greenhouse with a 15-year lifespan comes out to about $333 per year in depreciation, while a $10,000 glass structure over 30 years also equals $333 per year. Same annual cost, different upfront investment.
