The USDA has added Solexx Twin-Wall polyethylene greenhouse covering to its list of materials to cover greenhouses.

What does this mean to you?  It means you can create a virtual greenhouse just like your real one and compare covering materials to see what gives you the best insulation value and saves you the most in fuel costs.  It couldn’t be easier.

If you are a greenhouse grower who heats all winter, and you have double poly film or polycarbonate on your greenhouse, Solexx will pay for itself in 2-4 years depending on your location and heating schedule.

AND, you get to keep it on for three or four times the years of your poly film.   What does that spell?  PROFIT!  FUEL SAVED MEANS BIGGER PROFITS!

Solexx has a 10 year UV warranty, comes in rolls, diffuses light, resists hail damage, stands up to hurricane force winds, and has an R-Value of 2.3.  That means it insulates better than 10mm triple-wall polycarbonate.

Do you want to see for yourself?  Easy peasy.  Download the Virtual Grower program from the USDA at this link – Virtual Grower

Build your virtual greenhouse using your greenhouse dimensions, covering, location, heat type, fuel heating schedule.  Output the cost of fuel per year.  Then go back and change the covering to Solexx.

See the difference?  You might be able to pay your property taxes with the savings.

Virtual Grower is a free program available from the USDA-ARS that allows users to plug in the features of their greenhouse (whether the greenhouse exists or is simply in the planning stages) and determine the costs of operating that greenhouse. The software allows you to compare the use of different types of heating units, greenhouse coverings, fans, and grow lights to determine estimates of energy output comparisons.
