power is power, TANSTAFL (Heinlein). Maybe the OP is confusing his
formulae? 1 BTU/hr is not the same amount of power as 1 BTU/min.
(minutes vs hours)

Watts != btu. You're thinking in terms of resistance heating.
A mini-split is FAR more efficient in a particular range. The ones
I've gotten in the last 4 years are incredibly efficient at ~40-80
degrees. They're still decent at -8 through 40. Not too good when
colder than -8, but it'll still heat.

somethings off, 6k btu should consume 1758.42642 watts. Your
mini-splits invent a new type of btu?

The $800 mini-splits I am looking at put out about 6K BTU's of
heat on 400 Watts. The home depot $300 heaters put out 5K BTU's
but require 1500 watts.. Not going to do well in the winter
overnight off grid... And no a/c in the summer...

$1895? For a one room ac/heater? Home Depot has something
similar for $300. Is it the decal? Hood ornament?

If you have not already gotten the mini splits take a look at
https://www.hotspotenergy.com/solar-air-conditioner/
It has direct PV inputs when sunny it would put no load on your
inverter
IT can be put in solar only mode where it will scale the
cool/heat output to match the power it is getting PV
It can run overnight if you wish by giving in 240volt AC
connection.

I am working on my first off grid home, and hope to do

Nevada and currently I have 4K of solar feeding a 30KW LFP

through currently a Victron charge controller and a couple

solar inverters to generate a flawed 220 as well as two
sides of 110. (
the 220 will not run the well controller even though

I wonder if this group has some gotchas that I might learn
from in
advance before I buy myself into a corner... I'm all ears..
thanks!!
