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

To produce the quanity of electricity to run three electric heaters will be
quite expensive.   electric heaters use 600 to 1500 watts each. Efficency of
solare cells is not that great and it takes a lot of them to produce even
300 watts and the larger inverters required will cost plenty.   The money
would be better spent in doing superinsulation and air infiltration control.
Using outside combustion air for your propane may be required.  I once read
an article where a home in northern U.S. was superinsulated and the
incandescent lights kept the house warm enough.  They didn't have to turn on
their electric heaters.
