Id like to find out if its possible to buy a few solar pv panels, and
take the feed from that direct to a storage heater or underfloor
heating pad. Not plug into the grid, or even the house electrical
circuit. And not have the heater or heating coil attached to the mains
either to avoid any shocks etc. Straight from pv to dedicated electric
heater. It doesnt matter if the heat only comes in the day. Thats when
I need the heat anyways. Ive seen underfloor heating kits. And seperate
pv solar panels. Can the pv panel plug straight into the coil of the
kit? One reason I ask is that a few months ago I had seen a solar
powered pv panel to underfloor heating kit for a few hundred pounds
online. Ive lost the link, but I know its possible. What Id like to do
Is buy something like that, wrap the coil in bricks and some sort of
cover and get cheap heat. Any thoughts advice etc? For instance can the
electric output from a pv panel go straight to the heating coil and
trickle feed it. and slowly heat the coil Or does it need an
intermediate pulse convertor?


Grow firewood trees in your garden and buy a wood stove.
You can collect a lot of firewood for free if in a rural area.


Is that a peasant's right? What does the Lord of the Manor require in
return?


Generally it's theft. But I've not noticed anyone complaining. I would
advise against carrying a chainsaw, however.
