My opinion would be not practical at all.  Depending on your electric 
rates, electric heat is the most expensive when compared to lp or fuel 
oil.  How many watts are your heaters?  You are talking about large 
converters, large batteries, and very large and expensive solar pannels.
  It just isn't practical.  You are much better off to just bite the 
bullet and pay high bills.  Only other thing that might work is wind 
power, but that isn't cheap either.  Really need to know how many total 
kilowatts you're talking about.
