Solar Panel to give a plug i heater(s) energy during winter?

Question

Is it possible to get some sort of a solar panel that would provide enough energy to give watts to a electric heater or 2 during winter months to heat a small apartment and save the expensive heat bill at which prices are going will be double by this winter gas and all?

Answer 1

It will also depend on how cold and long your winter months are. The do make systems large enough to do it, and also there are solar heating systems that can be installed specifically for heating purposes.  Here is something I found:

Solar Heating- Solar heating systems are composed of solar thermal collectors, a fluid system to move the heat to its point of usage, and a reservoir for heat storage. The systems may be used to heat domestic hot water, swimming pool water, or for space heating. If you live in the southern half of the United States or in an equally sunny area you could potentially save between 50% and 80% on your water heating by implementing a solar hot water heater. The initial cost is hefty, but depending on how you use it, the system may pay for itself in as little as five years. The return is greater when you factor in rebates and incentives offered by states and local governments.

Solar Pumps- Depending on where you live, especially in remote areas, the cost of traditional water piping may be exorbitant. Unless you install a solar water pump. A solar power panel collects solar energy and powers a battery which can keep a consistent and plentiful water supply.

Answer 2

The biggest problem is if your landlord will permit you to put up solar panels on their roof. Assuming you are allowed to put them up, search google for solar panel suppliers. There are many sources. First thing to do is to check all your apartment where you can be loosing heat. Seal all openings that you may be losing heat. Also you might consider replacing your windows with double pane windows which reduces heat loss.

Answer 3

It would require a very large very expensive panel to do this.
