Hello:

I was wanting to set up a solar panel so that I can power pet heater beds through the winter to keep my animals warm at night. I'm not sure what components I need, or how to set it up so that I don't fry the batteries. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Bil McPhail

Any bed warmer I've ever seen is 110 volts, by the time you buy a large enough panel, inverter and the batterys you would have spent over $1000.00.
