Скачать или смотреть Using A Thermal Switch For Off Grid Greenhouse Fan Control

Off Grid Greenhouse fan control is critical both in summer and fall. But reduced solar makes changing how we control the fan critical.

During the summer while we are away, using a simple timer to turn the cooling fan off and on is a low risk approach to greenhouse cooling. As fall rolls around, decreased solar energy means we must change our strategy - the temperatures are cooler and power generation is significantly reduced.

Irene and Henry have been living off grid full time since 2005 on a 43 acre off grid homestead in the high desert of Northern Arizona. Situated at 5280′ elevation, we enjoy four seasons of beautiful scenery and weather about 60 miles south of the Grand Canyon.

We grow most of our green beans, peppers, yellow beans, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, squash, garlic, and herbs. Specialty crops like asparagus, sun chokes, and lavender are supplemented by foraged foods including wild ground cherries, prickly pear, and other native plants.

Electricity is made using solar panels and one 400W wind generator. We power our buildings in two groups: Irene's studio by itself, and house infrastructure: house, greenhouse, and workshops.


Thanks for joining us on our continuing journey.

Take care.
