Solar Household Energy (SHE) seeks to harness free enterprise to introduce solar cooking where it can improve quality of life and relieve stress on the Environment. Working with private entities, governments, and NGOs, SHE designs and oversees training and distribution projects in Mexico, Central America and Africa. Currently, more than half of the world’s population relies on biomass (wood, animal dung and crop residue) for cooking, according to the U.N.’s World Health Organization (WHO). This practice causes disease, economic hardship, and Environmental degradation. Modern solar cooking ovens like SHE’s “HotPot” offer practical, affordable, long-term relief. Solar cooking can help alleviate the burden on more than 3 billion people who must walk for miles to collect wood or spend their meager income on fuel. Solar cookers can bake, braise, stew and fry food. The 3 most common solar cooker designs are parabolic, box and panel cookers. 1. Parabolic Cooker: The sun’s rays are captured in a reflector wich focuses them at a point under a pot. The effect is like a stove top burner or a campfire. Temperatures can reach above 400 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to fry food. (2) Box Cooker: The sun’s rays are received in an insulated black box with a transparent lid which lets in the sun’s rays. Inside the box, this sunshine turns to heat which is trapped in the box. The effect is similar to the oven in your kitchen. Temperatures can reach around 300 degrees Fahrenheit. (3) Panel Cooker: A combination of the two systems wich is portable and less expensive. Temperatures can reach around 250 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is ample because cooking begins at around 180 degrees Fahrenheit.)
