Before you dismantle your poly - show us a picture.  I'm intrigued by the solar panel and battery set-up

I'd like to see that set up too.

I seem to remember Dick Strawbridge doing something like that.....

Or was it a heat sink with broken glass powered by a solar panel?

He had a heat sink with broken glass.  I kept thinking of some poor person trying to dig it all out at a later date.    He was using the excess heat during the day to store. 

I also you like to see a pic of a solar panel on poly.  I have a greenhouse, still in boxes, and would like to heat it cheaply during the winter.

Have we met goodlife? think you gave me some chilli plants last year, nice to see you on here again, i don't post as much but still take a look now and again. Thinking of a poly tunnel my self next year, just got rid of my chooks so a fair bit of land for something. I might pick your brain if thats ok. Neil
