[Digestion] Solar assisted biogas plant

[Hoysall Chanakya]

I am trying to get a few people to dream of solar assisted biogas plants
for regions that may have temperatures nearer zero but are not under
permafrost.  Very long back I was involved with a prototype that used a
solar water heated biogas plant roof (for Bangalore) and could raise the
digester temperature from 16 to 28C.  I am requesting list users if there
is any past experience, current hope or promise for this idea of solar
heated /assisted biogas plant to work in northern Europe and UK?  or cite
some examples that I could look up.
