Clearly energy has become more and more of a concern over the years. With a higher frequency of polar vortex events, growers are looking for ways improve efficiency when it comes to saving energy. If your greenhouse covering is due to be replaced, now is the time to research\u00a0alternatives to help cut energy costs and drive down your expenses.<\/p>\n
By switching to a twin-wall material like Solexx<\/a>, growers are able to save hundreds of dollars on energy expenses. Check the numbers for yourself on the USDA’s virtual grower analysis: http:\/\/www.ars.usda.gov\/Research\/docs.htm?docid=19961<\/a><\/span><\/span>. \u00a0Just\u00a0enter your structure features and you will get side by side comparisons of energy consumption using\u00a0different types of covering, including Solexx\u00a0.<\/p>\n With a 2.3R value, Solexx maximizes energy efficiency. Re-covering is quick and easy on any structure;\u00a0it is particulary useful on a\u00a0hoop house. Unlike polycoarbonate, Solexx is flexible and\u00a0easily conforms to the hoop house shape – no more double-poly blowers needed!<\/p>\n For some additional energy saving tips for those who are not\u00a0in the market yet for new covering, check out this\u00a0article about simple steps to saving energy in a greenhouse that was recently published Grower Talks. http:\/\/www.ballpublishing.com\/GrowerTalks\/ViewArticle.aspx?articleID=21113<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Clearly energy has become more and more of a concern over the years.
