Solar Cooker - Product Statement

Product:
Our product seeks to incorporate solar cooking into the routine of the home, as well as to save time and energy that would previously be spent cooking with biomass. We have also considered how to best design a solar cooker that will not burn your house down.


By incorporating solar cooking into the home, we aim to leave the daily routine of cooking in tacked . We do not wish to change the way that people cook on a daily basis, but rather complement it. As it is quite cold in the Himalayas, cooking outside with the current solar cookers can be difficult and uncomfortable. However, if a solar cooker is incorporated into the house, it would become quite easy to switch from bio fuel to solar power. Through case studies, we have found that when given the opportunity, people will use solar power as it cuts down on their fuel consumption. This allows the user to save time and money, and frees up biomass to be used as fertilizer rather than fuel.
We know that solar cookers are currently in use, but they are high cost and brake easily. With our solar cooker, we aim to fix this problem. We will design an affordable solar cooker that can be repaired once broken. We are currently developing two types of solar cookers, ones that could be used outside the home and is easily fixed when broken, and ones that would be build directly into the home. The solar cookers would be incorporated into the home through a magnifier in the ceiling, or though a solar box design on the side of the house.
