The solar panels attached to your battery box are way too small.
I doubt that they would even keep up with normal parasitic
current drain.
If temperatures are not too extreme, you can pile on more
blankets or use a sleeping bag and not run your furnace at night.
I have a Mr. Heater Buddy heater that I modified by removing
the regulator and plumbed into my propane line. It uses no
electricity and is completely silent. I do not use it at night even though it is supposedly safe.
