About this ebook

  • The Year-Round Solar Greenhouse is a practical guide to creating a lush, abundant year-round garden in any climate
  • The Year-Round Solar Greenhouse focuses on the building of the greenhouse, not how to grow food
  • A solar greenhouse is a greenhouse that gets 100% of its heat, year-round, by collecting the sun's energy in stored water and other thermal mass and releasing it back into the greenhouse at night
  • The first section of the book reviews the basics of solar greenhouse design in a clear, engaging format
  • The remaining sections of the book show readers how to build a durable, long-lasting greenhouse for a variety of situations
  • Instead of relying on fruits and vegetables shipped from thousands of miles away, a year-round greenhouse makes it possible to grow fresh, nutrient dense food right in your own backyard
  • Topics include building the greenhouse underground, tailoring the greenhouse for aquaponics, and integrating solar panels to grow off-grid year-round
  • Schiller designed, toured or helped build hundreds of energy-efficient greenhouses from small residential structures to acre-sized commercial facilities
  • Schiller and Plinke are founders of Ceres Greenhouse Solutions
  • Plinke retrofitted his family's 1950's ranch home into a net-zero-energy home, ranking it as one of the most energy-efficient homes in the US
