I’m trying to get an idea of whether it would be viable for us to upgrade our PV and switch from propane to electric for cooking.

Is anyone else cooking on PV-powered electric, and do you have a rough estimate of the kWh used for it?

    Some induction hobs have a timer function which could help. Our cheap oven also has a timer on it, and the rice cooker flips to “warm” mode when things are cooked.

    Also, we have all our kitchen appliances connected to one of these: https://www.netio-products.com/en/device/powerbox-4kx, which you can program to turn off and on at certain times.

    I’ve got mine set up to the travel kettle, so i can fill the kettle, press the kettle button and then leave it ready for when I want a cup of tea. I then have a small script I run from my laptop to turn the power on. When it’s boiled and turned off, I get an alert that it’s time to go to the outdoor kitchen and make myself a cuppa 😋

    Over-engineered? for sure. Does it feel good? also, for sure :)
