Everhot and Renewable Power: Harnessing Sustainable Energy in Your Kitchen
The Everhot cooker is one of the most energy-efficient cookers around, and you can take its sustainable credentials to the next level when paired with renewable energy.
Whether you're tapping into solar, wind, or hydropower, Everhot cookers seamlessly integrate into a renewable energy-powered home, making them an ideal choice for the environmentally conscious cook.
Let's dive into the options and how Everhot makes the perfect culinary partner in your green journey.
Solar Power
Solar energy, one of the most accessible and popular forms of renewable power, can be effectively utilised for your Everhot cooker. With solar panels installed, you can harness the sun's energy to power your cooker, significantly reducing your carbon footprint.
The beauty of Everhot's design, particularly its energy-efficient ECO mode, means that it can effectively schedule in when to heat its oven, utilising power generated during sunny hours, storing it as heat for cooking and warming your kitchen.
Wind & Hydroelectric Energy
For those in windier locales, wind energy presents another fantastic option for powering your Everhot. Wind turbines convert the wind's kinetic energy into electricity, which can then fuel your cooking adventures.
Everhot's ability to remain on continuously, thanks to its low power consumption, ensures that the energy produced on windy days doesn't go to waste.
How to Connect your Everhot with a Renewable Energy Source?
It's crucial to understand thatyou cannot directly wire your renewable energy source to the cooker. Despite this issue, there are a few workarounds:
- Utilise Battery Storage
The key to harnessing your renewable energy for cooking lies in battery storage. By storing excess energy, you can tap into your own power supply later, especially during high usage periods. This method ensures that your Everhot runs on green energy, even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.
- Staying on the Grid
Alternatively, sticking with a grid-connected system allows the grid to act as a virtual battery. The beauty of Everhot cookers lies in their simplicity - they only require a standard 13amp socket, bypassing the need for those hefty 32amp or 45amp cooker circuits.
This setup requires weighing the costs of a physical battery against potential losses from importing power at higher rates and the minimal returns from exporting excess energy.
However, this method is best to ensure consistent energy flow when there are troughs of renewable energy (the sun in particular isn’t always a consistent energy source in the UK!).
