Solar Cookers International created the Performance Evaluation Process (PEP) as an objective, scientific process to evaluate solar cooker performance. Solar cooks and purchasing agencies around the world are able to use these performance metrics to select the solar cooker that best fits their needs. Evaluations are arranged by SCI and conducted at Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers (RTKCs) in Lalitpur, Nepal; New York, USA; California, USA; and Nairobi, Kenya.
Manufacturers are encouraged to submit their solar cookers for evaluation, and schedule a PEP test.
Once evaluated, the solar cookers receive the PEP-tested logo shown below, which can be clicked to see comparative test results.
