This is a huge step for step us towards our self sufficient goals. A four season, year round greenhouse heated with wood and using solar power to run fans, lights and more. The solar powered greenhouse ventilation and circulation fans with thermostat are key to moving air inside, and removing hot air from the greenhouse if it gets too hot. A winter garden in the north might be considered impossible by some folks. We have several months of the year that we see very little sun. Being able to run just a couple of solar powered LED grow lights off of solar power in our greenhouse may just give us the extra bump we need to keep growing fresh produce year round. We are currently running two 100 watt solar panels to charge two 60 amp hour deep cycle marine batteries in the greenhouse.
Heating a greenhouse is not a simple task. There are many options to explore. We’ve experimented with how to heat a greenhouse in the past. Heating our greenhouse with compost. Thermal mass using large barrels and bins full of water. We’re now moving on to heating our winter greenhouse with wood. In the future we’ll add both compost heat and thermal mass heat back into the mix, but now that we have a woodstove installed in the greenhouse, we can get to work on some early crops, growing food in the winter in a greenhouse. The wood stove is rated for about 10 times the size of our greenhouse.

Where are the links to the products you used??
In case some of us want to buy what you have
Could you list where you got the solar equipment?
Man all your videos are so hard to watch. It’s like blue balls in YouTube video format. So much build up to a whole bunch of wasted time. Very useless in the three videos I’ve watched.
I would have loved to see the wiring and hookup details, since I wouldn't know how to set something like this up and do not have help. Also, agree with other commenter the music is distracting. I know it's too late now of course but maybe in future videos go with no music for informative videos are set very very low. Thanks, nice setup!
I have a small 6 by 4 feet greenhouse can a 100 watt solar panel with 4 car batteries keep the heater on ?
looking for really good idea to make some diy stuffs ? go to Avasva
What's the price for your solar system. .how can I get one?
I need to heat my green house 20 by 12 greenhouse in winter
very cool.. good for you and thanks for sharing
Hi there, just wondering if you need a electrical permit for this of grid solar system?
Interesting to see what you are doing with your life after leaving Chesley.
Hmmmm I spotted uncovered osb wood 🤣🤣 that is a total fail. At least put Lowe's wrap over any temporarily exposed osb.
Have you tried those little 45w tube heaters in there during the winter? I've seen on a few gardening sites that they use them over here (UK).
Nice job, Canadian content is difficult to find, especially Northern content, I have a 6'x9' DIY greenhouse, trying for an all solar heat solution, thanks
This tip would help me as i have my first greenhouse of the season. Thanks.
Your charge controller is 12 volt. Don’t you need a 24 volt? Maybe. A dumb question I’m new to the solar game. Thanks.
Nice! I would suggest getting a 12v thermal switch and fan though. You lose a % of power when inverting and 12v components are pretty cheap.
How much did it all cost I live in the uk
How much did your whole system run you?
Great kid very explained 😂😊
awesome Brother ! thank you so much- iam looking for a 5000" high S..N..O..W….I..NG…..PLACE..THANK YOU
I really like how you described the solar set up in steps and explained each one to us. You definitely gave me a bit more courage to try this in my greenhouse… Thank you for taking the time to share this info.
Great video presentation. No b.s. just straight to it. 👍 All good ideas now days ! Stay safe. ☺👍
Awesome video
Please check out my heated greenhouse
Not as cold of a area as you but still a challenge to grow tropical fruit
Just sent you an email ……Thank you!
Love the Old school radio …no internet needed…hahaaa!!
Always looking for Canadian Channels I'm glad I found you Cheers and I subbed.
If you put blue outdoor styofoam underneath your floor, you can minimize ground cooling of your green house. If your growing in bench beds rather than in the ground, of course.
I think it’s just awesome you have the extra money for all this. We barely make our bills on social security disabilities. I guess I’m just jealous.
Excellent setup 👍, thanks
Getting ready for 12v power in my 18” tiny house on wheels. Thanks for show me how simple it can be.
If you use a 12volt fan, you could get rid of the inverter I think.
I now live in a three story A frame home! The snow melts off my roof also! That's a huge problem! They didn't insulate the roof so all the heat, which naturally rises anyway, goes right out of the house through the ceiling! You have gone to the expense of a solar system and fireplace. Do youself a hugh favor and insulate that ceiling. You will save wood, battery and happy plants!
nicely done….
I'm gona set one up to help run led grow lights in the winter. I'll use terracotta pots to heat it. But I do live in the south, so heating won't be too much of an issue.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. I just built my first greenhouse so this was super helpful.
I can't wait to have a greenhouse set up like yours with a little wood stove in there.
Lmao at radio noise cancelling device. Enjoyed our visit. We were already subscribed but were reminded by your new to be neighbors "tomorrowaday farms " to check your vlog👍🇨🇦
Been pondering over solar for awhile now on my greenhouses. You made this look pretty simple. So it will take 4-100 watt panels to have enough juice to operate this greenhouse? From the pricing I have done over the last couple years has shown me it was much cheaper to just run mine on the grid. I was hoping one panel would do the job but now seeing it will take 4 of them has made my mind up. Thanks for the info!
Fantastic vid! I'm curious.. I'm sure I know the answer already but with that system can you program it to open vents in the summer when it gets too hot?
You have made me dream of a little greenhouse like this!
Creating quite the hi-tech greenhouse!!! 🙂
Bwahahaha the radio song! 🤣
Awesome way to get Solar Power for your Greenhouse. Very innovative way of growing your greens. Like 54. Watched till the end. New here
Great set up buddy, seems to be all working well. Looking forward to you folks getting some plants going:)))
الل علي الطبيعه الخلابه بوركت
I have the same sensor. Works great. Have a great weekend
Awesome job 😀 Can't wait to see your plants in there!
Great job Dave
