It's free and doesn't pollute. All you need are plastic milk jugs painted black and filled with water. Set them in the South and West facing windows. You can also get a 55 gallon drum and fill it with water and paint it black. The water absorbs heat throughout the day and releases it all night. The heat from the 55 gal. drum will last longer due to the greater volume of water. Rather than using electricity to heat your greenhouse, why don’t you use solar energy?
