Abstract:Increased energy demand has forced societies to rely on traditional fuel sources with negative health andenvironmental impacts. In most developing countries, solar energy is available for long hours and in ranges thatif exploited can reduce dependence on biomass and fossil fuels. However, despite its potential, uptake of solarcooking devices is low due to intermittent radiation, technological challenges, lack of awareness and slowercooking rates compared to other energy sources. There are four traditional type… Show more
