Q&A: What’s an easy beginner – solar power conversion kit?
I was thinking about having some plugs in the kitchen converted (Specifically dedicated to the Toaster, Microwave, Blender) to solar power. What’s a good simple complete kit or instruction book on making this possible? Thanks in advance.

Kitchen appliances take a lot of power, especially the heating type.
You won’t save money, or pay a solar system off for a few years.
There are many online resources dedicated to solar.
For what you want, I would get 4 KW inveter (or a 2+2 linked set), maybe 300-500AH of batteries (at 24V) that can provide the instant current you need, and maybe 4KW of panels and related hardware. You would tie your counter recepticals into the inverter.
Really, I would instead go with a 2KW system, for some lighting and home entertainment. You do not need to size as high for a peak current use. And switch out to energy efficient lighting, appliances, and usage practices.
