So, the solar panels are up on the roof. They are generating electricity. Two panels go to batteries and an inverter changes to AC power. Now the "snap" fan is installed too.
The roof vent was framed too.
So the polycarbonate installation began. The first piece was the south side which is the widest side.
And here is another shot of the south panels when they are first being fitted. You can see where the framed "snap fan" is installed on the left side.
A lot of work has been done by this picture. The sides are all in place, the roof is installed and some of the trim has been applied. What a difference a few days make. Thanks to my creative and skilled husband, who designed and is building the greenhouse.
This is a good picture of the "snap fan" installed. This fan runs off the variable DC power from one panel. We do need to put a regulator/controller on this fan to slow it down much of the time because it feels like a wind tunnel in the greenhouse.
This is one of the two temperature regulated cool intake vents. So, the greenhouse is coming along really nicely.
