Off Grid Greenhouse Inquiry [RE-wrenches]

[Colin]

Wrenches, we need your help!

Here's the situation:  a committed Off-grid client wants to run a home
hydroponic gardening business.  We have come down hard on the facts of load
reduction and urged him to look towards other passive alternatives to active
venting, heating and cooling, but sadly the issue is that this commercial
greenhouse, which he already owns was designed for a massive infusion of
fossil fuel energy.

Our initial load analysis had a first round conservative estimate of about
10 kilowatts of PV array.

What we are looking for is a) good websites for off grid greenhouse and
gardening systems, equipment, education, etc.  and b) sources for efficient
dc fans, electric seedling warmers, and Thermofor vents.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,


Colin Mitchell
