So far some tips on passive solar greenhouses:
•long side faces south
•usually a short vertical wall under sloped south wall, increasing floor space
•south wall is a flat sloped surface with clear material
•clear material is insulated, meaning layered with air gap. Larger air gals are better. This could be plastic inflatable (cheap), polycarbonate, or glass.
•north wall is insulated, not clear. May reflect light and or heat.
•thermal battery collects heat from the sun during the day and releases it at night. This could be on the north wall or floor. It could be water or rock/brick etc. Possibly pump air through floor thermal battery.
•blanket can be rolled over the window at night
