Does Anyone Know If It Is Possible To Power An Electric Fireplace & Blower With Only Solar Energy?
Yes, it is possible even if it has heating elements. It sounds as if the Electric Fireplace has an electric heating element and a blower fan.
The higher the kilowatt rating of the connected load; the higher the cost to purchase and install a solar system to supply it.
A 50 watt system with Photo Voltaic module, batteries, controller, and invertor costs about $700.
A 600 watt system with Photo Voltaic module, batteries, controller, and invertor costs about $8,000.
Here is a good site which will further explain solar power.http://www.speciesatrisk2004.ca/designin…
Good Luck.

Unless it is just a fake fireplace with little twinkly lamps the answer is no. If you were going to provide as much heat as an electric heating element you would need a lot of square footage of solar cells. The other drawback is unless you saved energy in rechargeable batteries then your heat goes away when the sun goes down (which is usually when you need the most heat).

No way no how.
