The misspelling. I missed an "i" in "asphyxiation."

I didn't notice. I was going to say something a little inappropriate, but ended up not. I know, right? I censored myself. Don't want to get the mods panties in a twist.

Poorly. I keep wanting to set up solar panels to run a heater but just never get around to it. For the time being, I leave the door to the adjacent bedroom open and the window from the bedroom to the greenhouse open. It helps but isn't enough for sub zero temps.

This is the reason that the tomatoes are in the living room. A person living alone does not need to be considerate of housemates.

Would a solar array work for heat?

How about this idea. I don't get cold like you. I am thinking heat exchanger in flue of wood stove in the house. Circulating hot water through concrete bench tops to heat greenhouse.

My problem is heat storage. Solar heat works fine if you have a way to store it. My intention is solar electric with a bank of batteries to run a heater.

There are optimal methods of both heating and cooling a greenhouse. One way to start is with a Walpini which places the floor of the greenhouse below the frost level.

A method that is beneficial is a heat exchanger which operates on air drawn through buried pipes. The air temperature will be approximately the same year round. It will warm the greenhouse during the winter and cool it during the summer.
 
It is cold. 🥶🥶🥶🥶
