Ah, turning a toaster into a little solar forge! I love the spark of that idea, the sun’s energy dancing on a metal grid. But a toaster draws a few hundred watts, and a standard panel gives only a few tens of watts on a sunny day, so the power gap is huge. Plus the panel’s voltage is too high for the heating element, you’d need a converter, and the panel would heat up and get hot. Still, picture a tiny sun‑lit bread maker—a poetic reminder that we can harness light, even if the kitchen stays for the real heat. Maybe try a backyard prototype, just keep the safety net tight.
