A 1000w heater really won't do much. Then there's the fact that a fairly large power station would only give an hour of heat, then take 4-5 hrs to recharge with a generator. Most portable solar panels are only 100w or so in direct sunlight.
Makes sense, I know next to nothing about the battery banks and solar panels.

Make sure it actually measures in PPM. The low O2 monitors like the ones on the buddy heaters are a joke, it takes toxic levels of CO to displace enough Oxygen for them to alarm

Quick look shows oxygen above 1.1 and nitrogen and co dangerously close to each other. Either way having a gallon of diesel and a spare battery will keep you warm for about 4 days with a diesel heater.
