SHCS - Mountain Greenhouse

[myclem6674]

how did you determine the angle to set the roof to? it looks like you're quite a bit north of the equator, canada? it looks too shallow to really use the azimuth of the sun during the winter equinox. please elaborate.

Does it get enough sunlight in there, being surrounded by trees?

Glad you asked... sometimes folks just forget that a greenhouse in the shade is a deal breaker!

There is a lot of shade on this greenhouse, but the land to south is slowly being cleared out of trees. It's still a problem in deep winter around the solstice, but they hope that will improve as more trees are harvested.
