A multi-source ground-to-air heat transfer system is configured to store thermal energy during a cooling/dehumidifcation mode of operation for future use during a heating mode of operation. The multi-source ground-to-air heat transfer system utilizes a ground loop that is configured under an enclosure, such as a greenhouse, and is in thermal communication with a thermal reservoir medium to conduct and store heat. A thermal exchange fluid is pumped through the ground loop and ground heat exchanger and may receive heat from a condenser during a cooling/dehumidification mode of operation and may liberate heat to the evaporator during a heating mode. The enclosure air may receive heat from the heat pump during a heating mode and may liberate heat to the evaporator during a cooling/dehumidification mode. The heat exchange system may employ a heat pump having a reversing valve to change the mode of operation.

A sunlight reflecting assembly includes a box that has an entry and an exit. The exit is oriented at a substantially diagonal angle with the entry and the box is positionable outdoors such that sunlight passes through the entry. A first mirror is positioned within the box and the first mirror is comprised of a light reflecting material to reflect the sunlight that passes into the box. A second mirror is positioned within the box and the second mirror is comprised of a light reflecting material to reflect the sunlight that passes into the box. The second mirror is positioned on an opposite side of the box with respect to the first mirror. In this way the first mirror and the second mirror direct the sunlight that passes into the entry outwardly through the exit thereby facilitating the sunlight which passes through the exit to be directed toward a solar panel.
