Hi everyone, I just discovered Will Prowse's DIY Solar geni setup. Very well thought out and planned. He gave excellent info. I am very thankful but I don't think 500w is enough to power a 1800w induction cooktop. Or am I wrong? Total newbie here. I tried to adjust the setup. Please let me know if I am on the right track. Thank you in advance. The solar cooker takes 1800 Watts and the flow is 110/115v. This means I will need a acdc converter correct?
If I wanted to run this unit for lets say two hours I would need 1800 watts x 2 hours = 3600 wh. So In my solar setup I will need at least 4000 watts for the solar panels right?
