A Survey on Solar Cookers

In times of energy crises and global warming, using alternative energy sources is a greener way to consume energy. Although solar energy is a better choice for cooking, it has yet to be established as a user-friendly and cost-effective option. Food is the most basic need of humans. Foods can be cooked use conventional fuels such as wood, cowdung, kerosene, LPG, and electricity. Solar cooker is a clean and environmentally friendly energy technology for cooking. Despite numerous solar cookers being researched and developed by scientists and researchers worldwide, their use remains limited. There are numerous causes for the limited usage of solar. Cooker-like, its bulky size, hefty weight, lack of open space, slow cooking, predetermined schedule for cooking Less awareness, etc. This document discusses many types of solar cookers, including panel, parabolic, box, and hybrid cookers. Further adjustments are needed to make the solar cooker more user-friendly, lighter, smaller, and cost-effective. The development of a photovoltaic and thermal hybrid solar cooker has opened up a new frontier in the area. of solar cookers because they cook faster than traditional box-type solar cookers and can be used in Users’ convenience time.
