Solar Greenhouse Garden - trap heat in the winter

Solar greenhouse

All greenhouses are solar heated to some extent. The natural greenhouse traps the sun rays of the sun during the day, so usually enough heat to keep the plants healthy and happy.

It is the night the temperature drops drastically in the greenhouse. The greenhouse effect does not retain the heat that will be held during the day when the sun hits directly.

Seventy to eighty percent of the costHeating of a greenhouse warming is spending the night with artificial heat sources, for example.

E 'direct solar energy during daylight, it is necessary to maintain built.

Passive solar greenhouse warming

be achieved in two ways active - passive solar heating of greenhouses.

The easiest and cheapest way to heat the solar greenhouse is through passive solar heating.

This is achievedIntegration of multiple physical and thermal mass in the design and layout of your garden greenhouse.

Article to create mass solar thermal:


large rocks
steel drums full of water (black or other dark color anti-glare is better)
concrete blocks filled with ash
Rock Pile
Lean to the wall as working greenhouses that are acting for a large solar thermal mass heat storage large.

It has large areas of thermal mass, the collection and storage of solar energyRadiate energy all day long and slow in the heat of the night, when you need it most.

Of course, heating solar greenhouse has the best results when using these techniques in areas that receive a lot of exposure, the days of direct sunlight.

No matter how well the configuration of the solar heating is always good to have a conventional heating system ready as a backup. If there is no sun, no heat. conventional heating is always a good idea.

Maintained CapturedSolar Greenhouse Heat:

It 'important that the heat generated by the things that you'll be recognized as a thermal mass to maintain. The best way to do this is to ensure that the greenhouse effect, the air is low. Check the greenhouse microclimate for more information.

Things, the sun's heat can be captured to be done to keep:


Walls where no light during the day in isolated
Weather strip all doors and openings to reduce air leaks
Mono-foam,seal or tape any gaps, perhaps the loss of heat
Install double-or triple-glazed
Concrete wall or plate
Line the inside walls with layers of swollen poly film - creates an insulating barrier of heated air between indoor and outdoor temperature.

Reflective materials:

Just as you've heard gardeners greenhouse gases can be done, they wash the hot summer days to reflect the sunlight greenhouse using areflective material on the inside can also be used to increase the amount of heat trapped.

If the north side is generally not to let the sunlight in the greenhouse during the day. It 's the south side of a greenhouse allows the greenhouse, that all the light in order to paint or to the side of the north wall of glass with a reflective material or paint trap more of the lights, the heat of the sun. Do not travel to the sunthe reflective material to bounce in the greenhouse are stored in mass storage solar thermal energy.

The isolation and good drainage of the greenhouse floor:

It 'important that the soil has the right way in greenhouse drainage water will not be allowed to collect inside the ice and is also good, a material that is used to maintain the heat.
