Crops for Passive Solar Greenhouses

You can have an extended growing season up to year-round, produce more crops, serve local markets with fresh organics, use less water, less to no fossil fuels, and less to no pesticides--all at less cost.

These are real possibilities when you choose to use passive solar greenhouses for more resource-efficient, less costly farming.

Latitude-Specific Crop Production Matrix (44°N to 66°N)

Solar geometry changes dramatically across higher latitudes. As day length shortens to 8 hours or less near the winter solstice, growers must align crop selections with available solar radiation and internal thermal ranges.

Zone 1: Mid-Northern Latitudes (44°N to 48°N)

Zone 2: Sub-Boreal / Prairie Latitudes (48°N to 54°N)

Zone 3: High-Latitude / Subarctic (54°N to 66°N)
