Improvement of energy efficiency and effectiveness of cooking in solar electric slow cooker for tropical countries

Abstract

Cooking system has been evolving for a long time. From the parabolic system to solar cooking. Every method had its unique concepts. Attempts towards solar cooking have always been proven beneficent and successful. Solar cooking is a system where energy comes from the photovoltaic solar panel which is powered by sunlight. We have designed a system where solar energy will be stored in a pack of battery which can be used in the absence of the sun. Combination of PV panels and batteries will provide the required power during sun time. A full-time main grid back- up is also present in the system.
