Excuse the mess, I finally build a 4 season greenhouse. How do I reduce the humidity if electricity is an issue ? Also what other things would you advise I add for the winter ahead to keep it warm, I am in a 7a zone.

The greenhouse is 15×45 feet or roughly 5×15 meters in dimension and 4.5 meter peak height with 10 mm double wall polycarbonate with concrete base and sides.
We barely have electricity here in the winters and it’s challenging to keep the humidity and heat managed on electricity alone. Running things on generator won’t be economically viable. So what do you guys advise ?
I have been thinking of gas heaters, wood heaters , etc but don’t have the experience in what would be the best to add in this case.
I aim to grow tropical fruit varieties which aren’t possible here otherwise.
Air circulation would be my only suggestion, but that wouldn’t work in winter.
I use propane. In the usa TSC sells a 100lb tank and propane heaters with thermostats. for 400 bucks and then for me in 5b about 70 bucks a month. I open the door once a day and use a fan to literally exchange the air from inside to out. so a fresh amount of air. I’m currently struggling with the humidity part because LP makes more humidity. I water less than I would otherwise.
Ventilation is usually the answer for humidity and they sell solar vent fans on Amazon for a reasonable price. I’m looking forward to other people’s solutions.
