Over this past summer I finally got around to building a modest (8ft x 16ft)
greenhouse in my yard. Among the issues I'm still working out is that of
ventilation, power, water, and cooling (air temperatures can easily reach
105F higher during July and August). I do not yet have electricity in the
structure, and it may be a while ($$$$) before I do. In an emergency, I
could run an extension cord from the house (60+ feet), but I would prefer a
more "contained" solution.
Besides cooling, I need a way to keep the air moving. Right now all I have
is the screen door and two smallish windows on the back wall...basically just
flow-through ventilation.
What I am hoping to find is some type of solar powered fan to mount from the
rafters. There is certainly no shortage of ol' Sol around here, year-round.
(I tried Charlie's Greenhouse Supply, and while they don't sell them they did
give me a possible lead.)
Anyone else have any leads.....an internet search on "solar fans" wasn't too
fruitful. I would prefer a US supplier, simply for ease of doing business.
Sincerely,
