In this paper, the technology of the solar light-guide plate is introduced and is used for the windows of the greenhouse. The maximum generated power of the solar light-guide power module is measured outdoors and the experimental results are compared with the simulation results. With the change of the azimuth and elevation angles of the sunlight day by day, the maximum generated power of the solar light-guide power windows for different seasons is also predicted.
