I'm located in Calgary, Alberta, where winter temps can get down to -30C.
Average temps, though, are usually about -15C but we have these things
called Chinooks that will causes temps to go from -20C to +5C in a couple
of hours.
Where can I find more information on the solor heating panels you are using?
Thanks,
Dave.

What type of heating do you use? Any recommendations to heat
my shop: it's about 20x20 with a 12 foot ceiling.
Solar (unshielded remote fusion reactor). I have a 50x50x14 shop
and plan to heat it with three 6x12 panels this winter. Last
winter I used a single 6x12 panel to keep shop temperature above
freezing; and estimate that three will provide a comfortable
daytime working environment (most days).
I don't know about your locale; but a shop the size of yours here
could probably be kept decently warm with a pair of south-facing
6x8 solar panels. The advantage, of course, is that there isn't
any fuel requirement.
