	A later development will be to add a solar thermal panel. This will be connected (via heat exchange) with the hydroponics system. When it is able to keep the hydroponics system at a reasonable temperature year round, I can upgrade to aquaponics.		A later development will be to add a solar thermal panel.

	I'd also like to setup a mini-water tower. A water tank placed above the gardens means I can pump water up there when the sun is out to store potential energy. Then the control system only needs to open a valve to flood the beds. This is more efficient that storing the energy in a battery. Particularly if I can hold enough water for more than one day.

			==== Hybrid ====
			The greenhouse should provide an extended growing season and hopefully enough insulation with the solar heater to keep the fish warm year round. But the cost per square foot is still elevated. A hybrid system may drastically increase output at only slightly increased cost. Outside the greenhouse there will be a large garden. In v1 I want to experiment with which plants do best in each. For instance, I've had trouble with potatoes and turnips in the past because of insect damage. They may be better in the greenhouse, or external but in a hydroponic system. I've always had good luck with tomatoes, so they could be started in the greenhouse then transferred out after the first frost. I'd like to grow raspberries and my understanding is that they are pretty hardy.

I've always liked the idea of using part of this as living space. Specifically, doing aquaponics using a small pond to grow the tilapia with a small patio near it. With the layout above, the center 10ft would be good for this, maybe something like a 10'x10' pond with a 10'x5' patio. That takes of 25% of the 60', so I may need to extend that out to something more like 75'. But I also like the idea of a trellis over the patio, so I may not actually end up giving up much growing area for this.
