Do squirrels and raccoons tear up the walls? Can you use solar panels for all the devices in the greenhouse? Do you attach rainwater collectors to greenhouses?
We have a lot of squirrels and raccoons in our area, but have never had any problems with the greenhouses (10 years so far). Solar panels are perfect for these greenhouses. Made energy efficient from the start. I do not collect water from them, but could easily be done with a drain set up at the base of both sides.
So you just use straight perlite as your growing medium? With a nutrient solution in your hydroponics setup? I'm running a timed drip irrigation system on multiple 7 gal fabric grow bags sitting on the bare ground here in south texas. My growing medium is mel's mix (1/3 peat, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 compost). I have a ton of peppers but I'm looking to add fruit trees. What would you recommend I improve without completely redoing my whole system?

Are you using single or double wall poly? Thanks for your videos , I’m setting my 20x40 up and appreciate the knowledge you share!
Double. Front wall is double poly also. Back (north wall) is OSB plus insulation.
Double

We have our fruit trees in 30 gallon fabric pots. Grow medium you are using is great. We are using a 50% perlite 50% coco in our trees now.
