I found one here that can deliver 1.25 amps at 120V. This may just run a small fan, but you would need 10 of them to run a small space heater. I guess it would be your call……… Hope this helps.

Fan.. maybe , but wouldn’t blow very hard.
Heater , no. They pull a lot of power . They are not very efficient either.
Proper solar systems require huge panels , cooking and heating are the highest users power.
It’s not a sin to keep warm , and there are some heaters that perform better than the rest.
I had an electric baseboard heater , that used heated oil the way radiators use water.I barely noticed the increase in my electric bill.
