I'm planning on building a greenhouse next year, I need some electrical help and info on solar panels, it would help alot.
First I need to buy a solar panel, two 8''fans, extension cord, and a rubbermaid container from canadian tire. where should I mount the fans?
I need one fan to suck in the fresh air and the other to blow air out. I'm not sure if the fans will turn on when the sun comes up or turn off when the sun goes down and where would I mount the solar panel so It won't get wet.
How many 4' plants can fit in this green house and will it work?
Thanx.

Well, I can tell you that a 4'x8' solar panel, a good one, can cost upwards of $1,000. But don't let that dismay you... try eBay, froogle, google, etc.... I'm sure you'll find cheaper sources.

There are solar panels that are 'weather proof', as they should be... Where should you mount it? Where it'll get the most amount of light.

"a rubbermaid container from canadian tire. " - - - I have no idea what ...

Will it work? . . .Where there's a will, there's a way! ;)

Should I use 1 fan inside and the other fan to exhaust air out?
