Abstract
Modern agriculture cannot be imagined without the introduction of smart and efficient technologies. These, undoubtedly, include technologies for directed regulation of the illumination of agricultural plants. Depending on the climatic conditions of cultivation, farmers shade or additionally illuminate the plants, and also change the spectrum of the light reaching the plants. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of solar light conversion methods and approaches for agricultural applications and discuss their advantages and limitations.
