The optical system comprises a plurality of rows of elongate spaced optical panels generally adjacent and extending transversely across the light-transmitting roof panel. Each panel comprises a thin backing portion forming first and second concave, opposite sides, a first light reflecting means including light-reflecting surfaces attached to the first side of the backing and a second light reflecting means including light-reflecting surfaces attached to the second side of the backing such that the light-reflecting surfaces face generally oppositely.
Also disclosed is an improved method of growing plants utilizing such a greenhouse construction.
