Off-Grid/On-Grid Greenhouse

Solar greenhouses use a special photovoltaic solar panel that was developed for greenhouse roofs.

Installing heating and ventilation in a greenhouse is crucial, especially if you are off-grid. Luckily, it is not as difficult as one might think, and there are many ways to do it. In fact, heating and ventilating an off-grid greenhouse can be accomplished with no electricity and only a few cheap materials. However, while anyone can grow plants during the summer, it becomes a challenge when winter arrives.

Proper ventilation is vital when regulating temperature, and while it is often accomplished through mechanical means, there is another way, which is natural ventilation. Natural ventilation, or curtain ventilation, relies on roof and sidewall vents to regulate temperature through a simple process:

• Hot air rises and escapes through the roof vents.

• The rising air creates a vacuum.

• The vacuum draws in cooler air through the sidewall vents.
  

Take Advantage of the Sun

During the warmer months, taking advantage of the sun is crucial. After all, the sun is a source of free energy that can be used throughout the year, with or without the use of solar panels.
