Isnt the paneling too dark to transmit light?
Actually, the Solexx greenhouse covering transmits 70-75 percent of the available light. Since most plants need only 40% and the optimal growth range is 70 80% the Solexx paneling is just right. Even on cloudy days, your greenhouse will have a pleasant, soft glow inside. The panels diffuse the light evenly throughout the greenhouse eliminating “hot spots” and shadows. Also, a bit less light transmission will help to keep your greenhouse from getting too hot during warm weather and reduce the need for additional shade to cool your home greenhouse.
