Can you heat your house with no energy during winter? Heres a real world performance example. 25 degrees outside and 65 degrees inside....no electricity... @svenh πŸ‘€ what do ya think 😁 https://youtu.be/WRYO0spgonU?si=1eQ8qBSTXRCG-Rsl

Yes 100% possible. My future design aims to be fully passive solar. In my current dwelling I am during the day, and built a walker stove (Tiny rocket mass cook stove) for the night. Use about 1 cord of wood a year. I do plan to include a similar stove in the future design for those 1-2 weeks a year where the overcast is long enough in the winter. It's all about 3 things. 1. Thermal Mass 2. A way to charge that mass with the right window to mass ration and exposure. 3. Insulation Personally my (currently in redesign) future dwelling will likely be largely underground in a hillside to tap into earth stable temperatures. This alone should make a huge difference.

That’s cool as hell! I’ve seen videos of people using gravity fed pellet stoves too, no electricity, but you’d still need to buy pellets, or make them I guess, but solar is the clearly superior option when done right

The only solution is insulation.
