A grain storage bin utilizing solar energy to heat air that is circulated through stored grain, having an outside sidewall constructed of heat absorbing material and forming a closed structure. A roof is disposed over the outside sidewalls. An inside sidewall forming a second closed structure is disposed inwardly from the outside sidewall, thereby forming a solar plenum between the outside and inside sidewalls. Air intakes are disposed within the outside sidewalls, thereby permitting ambient air to pass into the solar plenum. An air pervious floor is attached to the inside surface of the inside sidewalls and a grain chamber is formed by the inside sidewalls and the air pervious floor. An air circulating device is disposed within the grain bin for circulating ambient air through the air intakes, the solar plenum, the air pervious floor, the stored grain, and out of the grain bin.
