I have been thinking it would be great to be able to be able to use solar power for my wood furnace. I know little about solar power(voltages and conversions ect). I want to build a system that can be made portable so it can be used for my stove in the winter and then power a couple other things in the summer. As I see it solar pannels are dang expensive and so the only way I can justify this and make it work is to use it year around. Has anyone tried this? Is there more efficient pannels? Last but not least good sites or places to work with to find the supplies I need. Thanks..
