The main problem with cold-greenhouse is that, the temperature is very high during sunny day but, in the night, temperature drops down near to the outside temperature…so if you want to grow frost-sensitive plants in a not frost-free area these greenhouse are not the solution
one option i have seen for colder areas is putting a row of black plastic barrels filled with water. they warm up during the day and slowly release the warmth.
Use a thermal mass (water in black barrels thnx rischa, or plastic milk jugs underfoot) + solar charger + 12v battery + 12v dc computer circulation fans) to store daytime heat and re-distribute at night.
