> The link didn't appear to have the current draw .. but there's a very good chance it's high relative to a single solar panel or two in areas that lack reliable grid electricty. Product details -> Good to know -> Connection rating: 1800W. That's max power, I imagine they could run it at 900W, which, from what I see, would be 2-3 panels. Also, I don't think it's the "majority of the underdeveloped world". Based on this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/521212/number-of-off-grid-population-asia-africa-by-select-country/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/521212/number-of-off-gri..., to me those numbers look something like 20-30-40% of the population in these underdeveloped countries. Anyway, it's kind of a moot point, this will probably happen on its own over time, where it makes sense. > ( A key feature of much of the underdeveloped world is a general lack of IKEA kitchens with handy wall plugs and 24/7 high wattage grids ) This snark is irrelevant. I didn't say they should buy it from Ikea, ergo my comment about the $10-15 copycat (probably from Aliexpress). Nor did I say they should buy an Ikea <<kitchen>>. You can plug that thing on top of a $2 table to a regular wall plug or even an extension cord.
