About this document
Solar Heating for High Tunnel Farming by Dave Wei is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes a project using solar energy to heat soil and extend the growing season in high tunnel vegetable production in northern Minnesota. Solar panels were used to heat air pumped through buried tile lines to warm the soil, allowing for earlier planting and harvesting of tomatoes and cucumbers by 6-8 weeks compared to an unheated tunnel.
