Would an electric propagator work in a green house (unheated)?

Also is there any that work off grid?

12 volts is not the problem, it's the current required to generate heat, you would need massive lorry batteries and a solar panel the size of a tennis court I think.

I use them in my greenhouse, yes, but I run them off the mains electric.

I have a single seed tray size propagator and a double tray size one.

I find both struggle to reach 15 degrees unless I bubble wrap and heat the greenhouse or at very least surround the propagators with wrap.
Like tigerburnie I would think a solar powered unit would be very weak and unlikely to be beneficial
