Abstract

SYNOPSIS A box-type solar cooker is a simple device for harnessing solar energy for cooking. The large scale utilisation of solar cookers would depend on its financial performance vis-a-vis other resource-technology combinations for cooking. To facilitate comparison of the financial attractiveness of a solar cooker with other alternatives for domestic cooking, the cost incurred on cooking a given meal and the cost per unit of useful energy delivered by various resource-technology combinations have been estimated in the present work. The sensitivity of these figures of merit with respect to the possible uncertainties in the values of input parameters has also been studied.
