This video series is about using DIRECT DC (PV to Load) solar power to produce heat. This is PART 1 (intro). PART2 here: Home Shop Heating with Solar Panels! ...
New Heater prototype and update: VLOG another PV2L space heater, Part ...
For years I have been heating my home and workshop with several modified space heaters powered directly by DC solar panels. The concept is sound, works well and is a great use for excess solar energy. The solar panels connect straight to the space heater with nothing in between. I thought I should share the concept as it might help a few people. What prompted me to do so was a recent winter storm we had, we needed all the heat we could get.

It's possible to make a DIY Solar Electric Space Heater (Quartz infrared for example) by modifying off the shelf heaters. Due diligence is certainly required, this type of setup could burn down your house with solar panels.
This video series is about building PV-To-Load (PV2L) quartz infrared heaters which directly utilize solar panels to heat a home or building. I currently heat my home and also my metal building (solar workshop) using this method. PV2L bypasses the traditional method of charge controller / battery / inverter and gives a new option for efficiently operating appliances directly off of solar power. If you're using a grid tie inverter with heating loads, it makes more sense to put the power straight into the heating appliance and save wear on the grid tie inverter.
PV2L does not mean the appliance cannot accept a normal DC input. Batteries can still be used for this type of heater.
This first video in the series is a quick introduction and a look at one of my most recent heater builds. It uses custom infrared Quartz Tube elements which are configured to run directly off of the DC power from a solar panel. I have several custom quartz and standard resistance heater prototypes working at this time.
High voltage DC carries a severe risk of electrocution, so my heaters always use safer low voltage DC to power them. However even low voltage DC creates arcs and poses several technical challenges vs AC. The components of an AC space heater are not suitable for DC at all. The next videos (starting with PART 2) will delve into the issue of converting space heaters from AC to DC safely and retaining their built in safety devices which were never intended to switch Direct Current loads.
Stay tuned for the rest of the build series. As of this recording I have not yet finished the heater shown in the video. I am working on recording and editing part 2. It takes a long time to make these videos, so uploading in parts works best. There will probably be a part 3-4 as well.
