Are battery-operated thermostats an option?

off the grid thermostatts
Have a client that we did a radiant heat job for. This house uses PV for all power. They have radiant heat in skinny slab, several zones. They have asked us to install programable thermostatts.
I wanted to see if anybody out there could recommend a thermostat that will not require a lot of power. Thanks for the help. todd0 -

Any one of our VisionPro ...
Programmables, and FocusPro Non-programmables can be either system or battery powered. Some use AAA, some AA, regular alkaline batteries, available anywhere. Those stats are available from any Honeywell distributor.0 -
zone valve power
I'd be more concerned about the power the zone valves need?0 -
I guess I'll jump in here since offgrid/power system is my hobby. they may have to add more generation capacity to cover additional load. They probably should have designed a TRV based floor/room temp control going into this.(Oventrop)..I see this senario all the time where 2 differant bodies missed the boat on design and Later are pursuing a Fix. Sorry for sounding a little harsh but Off grid applications and design require a somewhat outside the box thinking on all fronts.. Your right J-P ..What about the power robbing zone valves. Paul0
