This guide explains how to construct an energy-efficient cooking appliance powered by a small solar panel. Thanks to its heat storage, the cooker remains ready to use even after sunset.
I started this summer to bake my own bread with surplus solar power in the afternoons. Works quite well with a bog standard bread baking machine that takes about 500W.
I did some napkin efficiency calculations, and while the bread baking machine recovers its costs quite quickly (< 1 year), it is not the solar electricity that makes the most difference to be honest.
That’s quite complex to build 😅
