But these days, his set-up is a bit different from the competition’s: his is the first in the country that cooks using solar energy. The roof mounted solar cooker is a type of [[cylindro-parabolic solar cookers | cylindro-parabolic solar cooker]] that can produce temperatures in excess of 212 degrees F. City officials are interested in the solar taco stand because it poses less of a risk than a conventional cooking stand. Typical cooking stands carry pressurized containers of gas to provide the cooking energy. The taco stand was designed by [[Michael Gotz]] with an estimated cost of $8000. Three Swiss organizations sponsored the project: [[GloboSol]], SolarSpar, and Service Industrial Foundation of the City of Geneva.
