I wonder how difficult it would be to make a heating system directly powered by solar panels. It doesn’t have to be enough heat to make a person comfortable in a t-shirt, but just enough to allow normal battery operation.
I’m sure that depends on a lot of factors like shed insulation/wall facing direction, etc, and burying the battery bank would probably be more effective.
I’ve learned a lot from reading RV forums and stuff like that. It’s common to install DC-powered battery heating pads that run on relatively low watts to keep batteries warm enough to charge. I’ll probably do that too.
To keep a person warm, you’d probably need more power like at least 250-700 watts to run a heat lamp or small space heater. But that is easily doable with solar and batteries now.
