Is using a wood gas generator able to charge solar batteries? Was thinking how to charge batteries in winter, and this was an idea.
Yup lots of threads here
Search up charcoal gasification as well.
You should also check out www.driveonwood.com which is solely devoted to wood and charcoal gasification.

It would be like running a submarine, run the engine to charge up the batteries, and then run silent run deep. however, it would be a good idea to also schedule high energy use task for the same time as you are running the gasifier.
I would use biochar as fuel for the gasifier to avoid problems with tars
Even better, since it’s going to be winter, would be if you could somehow capture the byproduct of the heat created in the process to warm a home or greenhouse, or heat water.
