Optimum South Roof Angle

13 years ago

OK I've gotten to the point of designing the roof line. The roof is going to be solid except for two tempered shower doors laid end to end on the south face of it. The question is "What is the optimum slope of the roof to get the light into the back wall of the greenhouse?".
