Insulated Solar Electric Cooking â Tomorrow's healthy affordable stoves?
We present a cooking technology consisting of a solar panel directly connected to an electric heater inside of a well-insulated chamber. Assuming continued decrease in solar panel prices, we anticipate that in a few decades Solar Electric Cooking (SEC) technologies will be the most common cooking te...
