We are starting on a project to use solar generated oxygen/hydrogen
instead of propane.
We have a stovetop toaster for our propane stove.

some other clean burning gas. I am thinking of how one makes a alcohol
burning stove by making pin holes in a can. Perhaps there is a way to
make an apparatus that would toast bread on both sides at the same time?

When I cleaned my battery terminals a week ago, this made a big
difference on power input as well as power output to my inverter.
The new sensor porchlight runs all the time off of the inverter, and
I watch TV until 11 pm every night, too... the cleaned battery
terminals have given me some good inverter power for this nightly
operation... I will soon add two more panels and that should take
everything off grid except the microwave oven, toaster, and fridge...
I have a secondary PV system, which runs off of one 90 watt PV panel
and one, 100 AH, 12 volt, AGM battery, plus a small charge
controller, that runs the trailer's interior lights, and the On
Demand water pump. Those two loads on the secodary sytem have run
good for many months now. The central, two TV set output, wall
mounted RF amplifer will be added to the secondary circuit soon, I
think. The RF amplifer pulls such a small, load, that I usually
don't count it with other load calculations...
I can't wait until I get a good solar powered fridge to replace my
in-effecient GE office fridge that I use now... and if a solar
fridge runs good off of a third, one PV panel and one battery
circuit, then I would only have the toaster and microwave oven left
on grid power.
