View Full Version : Off the grid cabin, cooking with HHO

I plan to have other systems for general heating, cooling, etc. but I am interested in looking at a solar system to cook with HHO.

Figure I could do it either of 2 ways both with dedicated systems.

#1 Dedicated solar cell only, IE create and contain gas in a gravity tank type container, IE lightly compressed.

#2 or probably a better solution solar panel, battery storage, then make gas as I need it.

Would like to run 2 burners at simmer and maybe an oven, but not neccessarily the oven at the same time.

Will have a wood stove as a backup.

So having very little experience at real HHO production the question would be
How many liters per min I would need and how big of a solar cell would it take to drive it.

Seems like I remember reading 3 Lpm for a burner somewhere, but not sure.

I am thinking the burner output could be regulated by the current in.

To generate 3lpm you'll need around 1000 watts. it will depend on the type of electrolyzer you use.

you will need roughly, 700 to 800 watts of solar panels, 4 batteries, charge controller and 1500 watt inverter to produce enough to make 3 lpm. its probably alot cheaper to use propane

You would not need the inverter. All DC. But propane would diffently be cheaper.
