It's that time of the year again, where depending oh where you live it starts getting cold 👎🏻 Most space heaters are 1500w , which would be more than enough to keep a small space warm, like fishing shack or a shed, maybe storage container 🤷🏻‍♂️ But what would it take to setup the solar to sustain running a heater like that and possibly have a bit of an extra energy for lights 🤔 Would anyone be intrested in kits that provide that flexibility? It might be in high demand. Just when people don't think about these options and don't want to do the research the opt for other options. We can use this thread for doing math 🧮 on calculations and leave links to ready to go kits and / or components for setups like this.

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth. That's 430 with 18 zeroes after it! In comparison, the total amount of energy that all humans use in a year is 410 quintillion Joules. What’s something that amazes you about Solar technology?

When it comes to a solar setup at home, the most common thing people don’t know is exactly how much power you use. As well as, how many solar panels you actually need to meet that demand. Here is a typical idea of a solar panel you may need and typically you would need 50 of them to meet a basic load of a home at 5 KWh demand. https://amzn.to/3ViioXB

For me this is, that semiconductors like silicon. Can act as conductors and insulators. Causing a phenomenon of photovoltaic effect. It is magic, and simply jaw dropping. 🤯
