Anyone setup a solar kiln?

We have a setup from Woodmizer, was bought around 1998 and never put up. Have the pad, just need to cut the lumber for it.

I had in mind using it for drying firewood, and if needed, drying lumber.

Blueprints here:

I had in mind it was about 15x20. I was planning on making the back wall about 5ft tall, and the front wall about 12ft tall.
The prints are calling for a 1.5ft tall back wall and a 16ft tall front wall with a partition in the middle. Makes it where only the front section is usable for loading. That's only about 6ftx20ft.
so pretty much could fit 6 bags without stacking.

I'm thinking of doing my original size and not doing that middle wall, or at least not the bottom part of it, so the skid steer could go in the whole thing and be able to use the whole 15x20 floor.

Thoughts?
