This is quite the interesting contraption, guessing with tuck mild winters this may in fact work. Good job Big D.
I'd say drag it out and try it, but no fans yet?

DaveShould have it installed early in Feb, so we'll know soon.I'd offer to lend a hand, but I'm afraid I'd end up face first in the back of your truck with my head in a gunny sack to keep the location secure. That being said, I'd probably still be willing to help if you needed it, I'm a little odd like that.DaveI run the local security ministry where I am teaching a bunch of folks stuff like you just described. If you showed up, we may treat you as a training aid!Dunno, it'd be fun for us!Wanna show up at a training session?Think about it... ;-)

I am not sold yet on the clear corrugated panel. I have three main issues with it and am thinking a clear single pane glass would be better. It would be very interesting to compare the two directly. Will your panels work? Yes. But will they be the most optimum, premium, best possible solution? I think more testing is required. 1. not completely clear, anything less than totally clear will block sunlight and reflect the energy back outside instead of letting it in.2. corrugations increase surface area, increasing the heat loss through the window3. corrugations have so many different angles, it would diffuse the light into some strange angles, again seems less efficient.
Just a thought, not sure if it really a concern pr not. What about moisture levels and mold inside the structure, particularly in the warmer months. You are going to have 500 gallons of h2o stored in there, so there is a good chance of humidity and condensation. Not sure what the fix action would be,but I would guess it would be preferrsble to remediation.
I may be just a dumb Kentucky hock, but isn't that just a dehumidifier with a filter and a spigot?
