ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a greenhouse curing and drying structure adapted to collect energy associated with available solar radiation and to utilize the heat associated therewith in curing and drying material within said greenhouse curing and drying structure. Basically the curing and drying structure comprises an outer transparent housing and an interiorly disposed solar energy collector housing defining a drying area or chamber thereunder. During phases of curing and drying material in the drying area or drying chamber, an outside air system is directed between said outer transparent housing and said collector housing where solar energy in the form of heat collected is transferred to the passing air system. The solar heated air system may, depending on the temperature conditions within the drying structure relative to the desired drying schedule, be directed to an air intake of a furnace system associated with said curing and drying structure or routed through an energy storage facility where the energy associated therewith may be stored for subsequent use.
