I've been on solar since 2023. My heater is Diesel powered, and I have a store of that, but below freezing, despite my insulation, I flee to other situations. Thankfully, a friend was willing to let me crash on the air mattress in his garage for this year's Arctic blast. Never thought I'd see that as an upgrade, but I was able to place the space heater so that it was blowing at the bed.

Even with 600Ah of LFP, running an 1800W resistive heater is not a solution. It was nice not to have to worry about freezing to death.
