I'm trying to get an idea of whether it would be viable for us to upgrade our PV and switch from propane to electric for cooking.

Is anyone else cooking on PV-powered electric, and do you have a rough estimate of the kWh used for it?

That sounds pretty reasonable. Is thst 2kW for the unit as a whole, or per hob? I have zero experience with these!

    Its a single hob, so as a whole? They have some catches, you need magnetic pans, so aluminium pots and some grades of steel won't work. Test with a fridge magnet, if it sticks, the pot will work. Also, they heat up crazy fast, and if your not careful you'll burn stuff. Takes some getting used to.
