Help Off Grid Chicken Coop

One thing to consider is sticking with a 12VDC heat source. Using an inverter will just waste more energy that needs to be calculated into the supply. It also would have to run 24 hours a day. More loss and bigger battery and array needed.

Thanks for all your help! I am going to try the small fish tank water heater in the 3 gallon waterer. I will find a way to insulate the galvanized can. May try a timer as well, the water is inside the coop so it's not outside.
