Member Exclusive Solar Upgrade 42' Growing Dome Secure Checkout [6ZVRaOCH]

The Solar Upgrade replaces ALL of the AC electronic components on the 42' Growing Dome Kit with DC solar components. This includes: the intake and attic fans, water feature, and undersoil ventilation system. This upgrade will reduce your carbon footprint by reducing electricity usage and will make you more self-sufficient. This is also a great option for people who do not have access to grid-tied electricity at the site of their Growing Dome.

The standard 42′ Growing Dome kit has three electric intake and three electric attic fans. When you choose the solar-powered upgrade, you receive four solar-powered intake fans and three solar-powered attic fans.

Solar Upgrade Considerations

The electric intake fans only use about 173 watts of energy each, and they are controlled by a thermostat. The solar-powered fans may also be regulated by a thermostat, but they only run when the sun is out. A single solar fan provides about 2/3 of the air flow of a single electric fan. The Solar Upgrade contains additional fans to compensate for the loss of air flow that the standard electric fans would provide.

If you live in an extremely hot environment, you may need more than the solar fans that we have to offer to sufficiently cool your Growing Dome. We recommend a misting system, for those in hot, dry climates. Solar swamp coolers manufactured by Southwest Solar are also a great option for hot, dry climates. If you live in a humid climate, you may need to contact a local HVAC heating and air conditioning supplier and/or electrician to assist you with purchasing an air conditioner and/or dehumidifier.
