It would seem more efficient to me just to heat water using solar 
energy and a pump to run water through panels on the roof then 
back down into your house where the water
would radiate it's stored heat in to the living space.  Jim

Subject: OT How to Create A solar Power System to Power a Heater?

Hi
     First, I should explain the situation here.  We live in the 
country =
on a farm.  The heat here is propane which is expensive to say 
the least.  =
My wife bought large electric heaters that are pretty fancy.  I 
admire =
her working it out so that with three heaters she can heat the 
house.  =
Smile.  On the other hand, now she worries about the electric 
bill.=20
     Well, it seems to me that with a solar panel or two, perhaps 
a =
large battery and some 12 volt to 110 converters that we should 
be able =
to take the heaters off the power grid.
     The trouble is that I don=E2=80=99t really know how to go 
about =
achieving the physical reality of this project, even though I 
understand =
the basic concept.  What types of prices am I looking at since we 
already =
own the heaters? Do I really need the battery if we just want to 
run the =
heaters in the day light? What other things have I over looked?
     I appreciate your thoughts.

God bless,
Mark and my beautiful wife Noella
God loves You!
