Solution Overview & Benefits

Sunfire is a solar based cooking solution. Cooking on a parabolic solar cooker can be compared to using gas. Heat is instantaneous, making Parabolics the ideal solar cooker for breakfast fry ups and Braais. Heat is concentrated to the bottom of the pan/pot using a custom made reflective (replaceable) metalised tape. Parabolics work on the same principle as satellite dishes for TV/internet, Sunlight is focused into a single heat area. Parabolics need to be adjusted with the sun every 30-40 minute’s as the sun moves. Solar Cookers are also perfect for soups, stews, especially when used with a sunbag.
