The disclosure describes a photovoltaic greenhouse that has a frame structure (108) including a plurality of upstanding walls (112) and a roof structure (116) supported by the frame structure. The greenhouse also includes a plurality of photovoltaic cells (120) installed in the roof structure or walls. The photovoltaic cells convert solar energy (124) into electricity by absorbing a predefined wavelength band of electromagnetic energy in the solar energy. The photovoltaic cells have different predefined infrared transmissivity properties to transmit infrared energy through each photovoltaic cell from outside the greenhouse to inside the greenhouse based on the respective photovoltaic cells predefined infrared transmissivity property. The photovoltaic cells are distributed in the roof structure or walls in a pattern to heat ground locations within the frame structure to different temperatures in response to the infrared energy transmitted through the photovoltaic cells.
