Know About Solar Power

RESERVOIR COOKER
Reservoir cooker is an appliance which collects solar energy during the day and is able to store it in a medium like crude oil (petroleum) for later use. The oil is kept in a highly insulated container for it to store the heat energy for a long time, normally 24 hours. This makes it possible for the system to be used even at night in the rooms.

When cooking, the isolation plate should be removed so as to place the cooking pot on an iron plate lying below it. It can be built with at least three reservoirs and three pot spaces at disposal. These appliances are so far better with only one disadvantage of a high cost of production.

STEAM COOKER
This appliance is build with a large surface area for collecting sunshine which is transformed into steam.

The steam produced spreads upwards into the uppermost space where the cooking pot is placed on a highly insulated container.

The construction allows maximum solar energy collection because the collector is quite open. However the energy absorption of this appliance is relatively low and its maximum temperature is 100 degrees centigrade.
