In order to solve the problem of low biogas production caused by low temperature in northern cold area, the solar energy and biogas boiler combination warming system is proposed to raise the temperature of biogas digester. In this paper, under the condition of the optimum area of solar collector, it's obtained that changeable rule of solar energy guarantee rate with month and rule of heating ratio of biogas boiler in the whole year. The solar energy guarantee rate of the system is more than 55.9%, and the combined heating capacity of solar energy and biogas boiler is enough to meet the requirements of annual operation conditions, which is reliable in the northern cold area.
