Solution Overview & Benefits

The Parvati Solar Cooker can cook meals for a family of 5-6 people using only solar energy. One can boil, steam, roast or bake vegetarian or non vegetarian food. Temperatures up to 135 ° C , can be reached, which is sufficient for safely cooking all types of food. The cooker can be used during peak sunlight hours in winter, and extended sunlight hours in summer (varies by geographic location).

The Parvati Solar Cooker's design incorporates a parabolic reflector which concentrates sunlight on the cooking pots. The black painted cooking pots absorb sunlight, converting it to heat energy which cooks the food. Units are designed such that they do not require readjustment for two hours. Cooking is completely attendance-free and takes only 90 minutes to two hours depending on the type of food prepared.

The frame is made of mild steel and powder-coated. Reflectors are made of mirror aluminum made in Germany. Cooking pots are stainless steel. The greenhouse cover is made of clear polycarbonate. The entire unit is designed for durability, and requires minimal maintenance.

The Parvati Solar Cooker is shipped in semi-assembled form, and can be assembled within 20 minutes. A detailed instruction manual provides all the information for assembly and operation.
