WHEN people talk about “going solar”, we usually think of solar hot water and solar (PV) electricity systems. Solar cooking involves concentrating sunlight to create heat and essentially comprises two main methods: using parabolic solar cookers, where a dish with a reflective surface focuses the sun’s heat to a central point (making them well-suited for […]
