Does such a thing exist? I've seen one site listing them, but not

If you add thermal mass (usually water) to the north side of your
greenhouse, this will absorb heat during the day and release it at
night.
Google "solar greenhouse" for more details.

Tom, I'm well aware of thermal mass heating. However I can't see my
friend having that setup in the garden. Could be an idea for something
else tho. Thanks
