Re: Off grid Greenhouse Inflation Fan Application (3.00 / 0) (#2)

Homepower magazine did an article a few years ago about a greenhouse that used a what looked like a 20 watt solar panel to keep a battery charged to run a 12 volt inflation fan. I've experienced that small 12 volt fans of the same rating are always much more efficient.  I don't know what kind of 12 volt fan is needed for inflating a greenhouse but there must be something out there. The higher efficiency would really cut down on the cost.

Thanks for the tip! - I will do a search on the Homepower dvd's.
