I saw a web page where someone off grid was using a PV array tied to an inverter to power a mini-split air source heat pump. Under favorable conditions, the mini-split can give you three time as much heat per watt as you would get from resistance heat.

I suppose the problem here is the irregular nature of wind energy.
