Has anyone tried a solar powered fan to do the air circulation? (not venting)
We have these intense lights on anyways.

Interesting idea. Something like this? >
My reservation is twofold. 1) I wouldn't want to give up space that could be used to reflect some light back to the plants. If one could put a solar panel in a place that actually gets light but isn't being used to reflect, that would be good use of the space. Although, it seems like most walls that receive light are typically used to reflect (flat white, mylar, etc). And 2) the solar panels I've seen aren't exactly cheap. Might have to find something on close-out to get enough watts to actually run a fan for under, what--$50?? [shrug] $50 will run a small fan for a long time off household electric.
I did see this on Ebay though. $30. Almost seems more trouble than it would be worth. I'd like to see someone try solar in-cab air circulation though. Maybe there's a good way to do it.
