Has anybody used this material to build a greenhouse or passive solar
collector. I am not familiar with the material. How easy is it to work
with? Are there any places like Home depot or Lowes that might carry it or
do you have to order over the Internet. How clear is it and would it be OK
to use in front of a window?

I've used it to make ports and hatches for my boat. also made some
front bumpers for AGV's for the plant I ran. it works fairly easily
with common woodworking tools. I bought mine from a plastics
wholesaler by the full sheet. You can get it in various thicknesses
and clear to various tints.
