Boiling an Egg with a 100 Watt solar panel: Simple Solar Electric Cooking | PV to Load #solar

🟢 Simple Solar Electric Cooking - proving that small scale PV-to-load solar electric cooking works in the field. It can even be easy and affordable. Using a small solar panel to cook food with electricity might have seemed like science fiction not too long ago.

Plus a look at some of my DC oven prototypes and what makes them work. ------------------------------ My 100W MINI solar electric oven https://youtu.be/p3NOilVYK44 ------------------------------ My 100w MINI 18V power tool battery oven prototype https://youtu.be/RQKIfdO-KIY ------------------------------ My large 18V PORTABLE Toaster Oven prototype - powerful cordless electric cooking for job site, camping, RV, off grid and more. Solar charging, solar assist and PV-to-load optional inputs! https://youtu.be/SLiwNnHPlI0 ------------------------------ This setup is easy and beginner friendly. Using a simple 12V heated automotive cup, along with some care and attention to detail, one can solar cook eggs, noodles, instant soup and boil water for hot coffee or tea without much trouble at all. It's not complicated or expensive. The only concern is to make sure the voltage into the cup doesn't exceed about 12 Volts, otherwise there is a risk of overheating or burning it out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PS if you want to support this channel, scroll down for for links to items shown in the video! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Such an application is great for camping, RV, boats and off grid cabins and remote and rural sites. In this recorded experiment out in my yard, I plugged an unregulated 100 Watt PV solar panel directly into an automotive 12V cup to boil and egg and make hot instant coffee. If such a simple setup can be effective, then this test shows that the sky is the limit for PV-to-load solar electric cooking. I have done such experiments before, but never showed them on camera. If you are interested in this type of content please let me know. PV-to-Load (PV2L) is simply a way to bypass the battery, inverter and charge controller paradigm. It means to power the load directly from the solar panel. Some benefits of PV2L cooking: *More Efficiency *Less weight / better portability *Lower cost *Reduced wear and tear on solar battery banks *Smaller solar array for a given size of cooking system *Fewer or no electronic components *Reduced or eliminated wear and tear on expensive discrete components (Battery / Charge Controller/ Inverter) *Reduce or Eliminate consumption of fuel without expensive equipment or cycling batteries More PV2L solar electric cooking videos are in production, hope to upload them soon. Thanks for watching and see you next time. -DD- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ///PARTS LIST - if you want to support the channel, here are links to the items shown in the video.

Thank you :) WARNING - some 12v heated cups may burn out if you drive them too hard - I recommend covering the solar panel before plugging in the cup and monitoring the voltage. Some may require a 12V regulator to function safely off a solar panel.
