The size of the battery bank will depend on how long you are going to keep the heater on. 1 - 2 units of 12v deep cycle batteries should do the trick. To build the DIY home solar system, you would need a budget of approximately $600 - $900. Generally a small DIY home solar power system would be sufficient for your infrared electric heater.

It says its 1500Watts. How many panels would it take to run this.( It's AC so an inverter would be required). What would the entire thing cost & how many batteries would be needed?

As long as you have a sturdy platform to setup the solar panel, you'll be fine. Some mobile homes use Direct Current (DC) electrical appliances. If you have DC equipment, you do not need a power inverter to change the battery DC to Alternate Current (AC). Generally, the solar components for a home and mobile home is the same.
