I'm preparing to add solar to my home. I'd like it to suplement my existing heat, I can't put in a wood stove so I have propane. I am thinking about 2 45watt panels and 6 golf cart batteries. 6 VDC, 220 amp/hours. I'm trying figure out how long this setup with a full charge will power a 450 heater (assume running costant)I can also charge batteries with grid power if needed, Our Electricty is cheap, Our propane is not.I live in Northern NV. 7200 elev. I've done what I can making the house efficient but not a lot can be done short of shelling out more than I have for an electric furnace.
Thanks,
Rik
