Hello,
Today is my first time on garden.org, and I've been reading the posts on how to heat a greenhouse. Very helpful. I live in Zone 7 (NY) and am considering a greenhouse. I have solar panels for my house which has been so helpful. Is it possible to create a greenhouse about 12' x 12' with one or two panels mounted on the roof? If the panels take up < 40% of the roof surface, I'm hopeful that will let in enough light, and would also create enough electricity to warm this greenhouse through winter (where we can get a foot of snow, and can dip to zero degrees at extremes).
And another (maybe crazy) question - My dream would be to grow a few small self-pollenating plants like Avocado, Lemon, Mango, Mini-banana. Does anybody have thoughts? Much appreciated!!
