Build a net-zero energy greenhouse that pays for itself through energy savings and year-round food production. Complete construction plans and proven techniques for creating a solar-powered growing system that eliminates heating bills while providing fresh food 365 days a year. Why Solar Greenhouses Outperform Heated Versions: Traditional greenhouses consume massive energy for heating. This design captures and stores solar energy naturally, maintaining growing temperatures through the coldest months without ongoing costs. What You'll Build:
Build a net-zero energy greenhouse that pays for itself through energy savings and year-round food production. Complete construction plans and proven techniques for creating a solar-powered growing system that eliminates heating bills while providing fresh food 365 days a year.
Why Solar Greenhouses Outperform Heated Versions:
Traditional greenhouses consume massive energy for heating. This design captures and stores solar energy naturally, maintaining growing temperatures through the coldest months without ongoing costs.
What You'll Build:
Energy-efficient design - architectural plans optimized for maximum solar gain
Thermal mass systems - store heat naturally without expensive equipment
Automated climate control - ventilation that responds to temperature changes
Year-round growing systems - crop rotation for continuous harvests
Cost-benefit analysis - ROI calculations showing 3-5 year payback
Real-World Results:
Greenhouse builders report 80% heating cost reductions, year-round growing capability in climates down to -20°F, and complete payback through energy savings and food production within 5 years.
Start your energy-independent growing system today. Everything you need to build, operate, and profit from solar greenhouse growing.

Autorenporträt
Lindsey Schiller studied conventional greenhouse design and management at the University of Arizona's Controlled Environmental Agriculture Center before delving deeply into solar greenhouse design. With co-author Marc Plinke, she founded Ceres Greenhouse Solutions to research, design and build energy-efficient year-round greenhouses. Lindsey has designed, toured and helped build hundreds of energy-efficient greenhouses spanning small residential structures to acre-size commercial facilities.
Marc Plinke , an inventor-innovator with a PhD in engineering, started his career as a chemical and process engineer working for Gore Technologies. He later retrofitted his family's 1950's Boulder, CO ranch home into a net-zero-energy home, spurring a second career in green building design. Marc has spent the past decade applying his expertise in green building and engineering mindset to building better greenhouses, with the intention of enabling people to grow their own food sustainably, year-round.
