I'm living/working remotely off grid with a solar panels, batteries, and a 2000w inverter. It's comfortable. I usually have a few lights, the wifi router, a monitor, laptop charger, and a fridge plugged in. This comes out between 100w and 300w, so I have room to spare for bigger items like power tools.

I do cheat by using a propane range for cooking and wood for heat. At some point I'd like to move to an electric induction stove, but I need to do some research how efficient they are.

I know for a fact that the induction cooktop is the epitome of efficiency. Virtually every watt that passes through the switching electronics and coils winds up somewhere in the cookware.

I've got a Breville control freak and a 750w microwave oven as my emergency cooking gear for when I am stuck on solar battery backup.

Pressure and slow cookers are beasts for energy efficiency - pressure winning because they’re on for shorter time, but slow cookers can do things too (especially if you have “waste solar” during the day).

Have you looked into home biogas digesters? They can turn waste into cooking fuel.

I haven't, I'll check them out, thanks!
