Can a dedicated solar converter keep the compost from freezing in a year-round composting toilet?

i'm considering installing a composing toilet in my cabin.  i have no electricity and only a woodstove on which to cook and heat the cabin.  is it possible to devise an inexpensive sloar converter  which would provide just enough continuous heat to keep the compost from freezing?

Don, if the cabin is really remote, you could build yourself a small septic like tank with a leechfield and use a regular toilet with an elevated water tank for a supply. Or else go with PV, battery and inverter for power.
