I have a #HeatPump idea to bounce off you. In winter, #MiniSplit can’t keep up for small insulated shed, ‘cuz it can only raise the temp so many °Fs.
But put a black steel grate in front of the intake & point a #Heliostat at it, & the localized outside temp’s higher.

NateAfter two winters of heating my backyard greenhouse (tropical plants) with fan blown electric resistance heating (read: electric space heater), I'm looking for a more efficient method.
I see others using methane or propane, but, yuck and I don't want to cause an explosion.
I haven't seen examples of people doing it, but would it be possible to wire up a 120v mini split?

Kelvin n0mql EN35ldEvery #Heliostat device I've found on the web is some company (or person) who is no longer in business.
Here in the US, #HeatPump adoption was slow AF. So the perfect market for Heliostats has not existed until now.
Anyone know of a company (or just some dude somewhere) that is CURRENTLY making & selling Heliostats?
I've seen #Heliostat devices for years. Always been interested in eclectic green tech. But I never had a NEED for one, until now.
Last fall, I installed a #MiniSplit #HeatPump & it was ALMOST enough to keep the back shed warm enough. But sometimes the coils froze up outside.
It now dawns on me (pun intended) that if I had a heliostat to reflect sunlight onto those coils in winter, it would MUCH more effectively pump heat into the shed. Right?
But here's the problem... (cont'd)
