I've actually been thinking on the same lines. I plan to run a 1500 watt unit for 10 minutes on the hour. I burn wood in the winter to heat the house and if I start it to soon I'll end up with all the windows open. This transition period from fall to winter and winter to spring is always a pain ( of course so is winter ).

My batteries are usually charged by noon everyday so the rest of the day can heat the house or at least add to it. No sense wasting the possible extra energy from the afternoon sun and wind...
