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?

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.

That is extremely cool and I need one.

I really like NetIO's products. I also have one of their 4-port rack-mount devices that has similar functionality. They are reliable, and don't need an internet connection or stupid app to control it.

(I have used the Android app though, and it's reliable and responsive)
