Perhaps I missed it, but didn't see any mention of how they heat or cool it.
14.3 KWH of battery energy is just slightly under 50K BTU - Enough to run a 12K BTU air conditioner for around 4 hours a day (assuming perfect efficiency, 100% battery discharge, and no other electrical loads being used).
I assume they would use some sort of heat pump for heating, since resistance electric heat is very energy-inefficient.
Typically, you get less sunlight in cold climates and during cold seasons - so there would often be less solar panel output available for heating. On rainy or completely overcast days, you either make do with whatever's still in the battery, or do without.
