Hello everybody,
I am new to the greenhouse sub forum and it looks like I can gain tons of knowledge here. I am in the building phase of my greenhouse and was starting to plan out electrical. My needs would be:
4 20x20 fans
1 large 42" fan
Auto ridge vent
Auto side walls
Last but not least maybe some led lights for supplemental lighting.
The greenhouse it self is over 1400sq ft and needs to have air circulation at the least. The led lights would more be used for starting early plants and finishing sativa's.
I have a couple options, and digging a 18" trench from my main panel to the greenhouse would be one option. However, that is over 500 ft away and would take a lot of work. The second option that is looking more and more appealing is solar power. I have seen decent options on Lowe's and Home Depot web sites that even include batteries for prolonged energy at night. 3rd option might be a diesel generator, but I don't like how noisy that could be. Just wondering if anybody else has encountered these problems, and if so, what was a solution that worked out. Any and all advice is welcome, and Happy 4th!!
