Solar Panel to power Bathroom Fan

[Goldberg]

Currently in full DIY mode in the new place.
Just about finished putting Celotex Boards in the cellar and rafters (yes I have left the air brick) and turned it into a Gym with Jigsaw flooring etc.. so I am onto my next tasks.

I need to fit a ceiling extractor fan in the bathroom but I am wondering if it is possible (and how much) to power it by Solar Power?
Could the Solar panel then also power the underfloor heating system in it too? (wire heating).

Don't want to pay more than it costs to run, but would be handy and a good project to take on.

Cheers

with a bank of batterys charged buy the solar pannels during the day running the fan would prob be possible, but running under floor heating not so easy, depending on the amout of KW needed to run the system you would need a huge bank of batterys and a large array of pannels to keep it charged

Yes for the fan, no for the under floor heating. As pickie said you would need a large array of batteries for the heating.
If you do go for the fan option remember you will need to either get a 12v one or an inverter to step up to 240v. I've been covering my place in panels over the past 12 months and have got a small array on my potting shed so i can run lighting, radio and propagators.
You could go down the solar can heater route if you want a cheap way of injecting some eco friendly heat into your house.
