  1. OFF-GRID SOLAR AND HEATING SYSTEMS FOR TINY HOUSES

  2. Introduction A tiny house can be completely self-sufficient and off-grid if you build it correctly. This can be accomplished by utilizing a combination of two things, creating your own electricity (via off-grid solar) and using less in the first place.

  3. LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES IN COLD While cold weather can negatively affect all batteries, lithium batteries are more cold-resistant than other batteries. We recommend using lithium as an extra precaution in cold climates.

  4. SPACE HEATING An air-source heat pump, works by pumping air from outside and heating it through a method similar to air conditioning, but in reverse. Air-source heat pumps are one the most efficient ways to convert electricity to heat.

  5. PASSIVE SOLAR Passive solar is to have large windows that face south to let in the sunlight. You also need to have a calculated overhang that will keep the sun out in the summer, when the sun is high in the sky, and let the sun in during the winter, when the sun hugs the horizon.

  6. SOLAR WATER HEATING You can also simply heat your water with electricity and a hot water tank. A not so obvious use for hot water is to run it through pipes in your floor in order to help provide heating throughout your home. This sort of in-floor heating is very effective in tiny houses.

  7. DC FRIDGE AND FREEZER Choosing DC appliances can significantly increase your efficiency. You should also consider the placement of your fridge. There is no need to heat your house and then use more electricity to cool your fridge

  8. BACK-UP POWER A backup generator can be anything from a diesel or propane generator, a micro-hydro generator, or even a wind turbine. It does not have to be big, just enough to keep the necessities running.

  9. Conclusion Living in a tiny house is an appealing option for many. One of the most significant benefits of living in a tiny house is a lowered consumption of resources, especially electricity. And creating your own electricity allows you to be completely off-grid. In most applications, solar power is the easiest way to achieve self-sufficiency.
