Solar Cookers International's open-source PEP device
Responding to requests from cooks, agencies, and manufacturers, Solar Cookers International(SCI) created an objective, scientific process to evaluate solar cookers: the Performance Evaluation Process (PEP). SCI objectively and scientifically evaluates how a solar cooker performs. Solar cooks and purchasing agencies around the world need these valuable performance metrics to select the solar cooker that best fits their needs.
Evaluation
- Based on the internationally accepted ASAE S580.1 protocol for Testing and Reporting Solar Cooker Performance
- Harmonizes with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) test ISO/TC 285 protocols being developed for clean cookstoves
- SCI is a solar cooker testing center registered with the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves
- SCI has testing centers in Laliptur, Nepal; and in New York and California USA
Local testing of solar cookers supports local economies - an SCI goal. Local testing means tapping leaders’ expertise: knowledge of their culture, language, and foods to identify the highest-quality, most durable solar cooking technologies for those regions. With additional funding from donors, SCI can proceed with plans to open three new testing centers: Africa, Europe, and Latin America. Want to learn how you can fund an SCI testing center and support local economies? Contact info@solarcookers.org today.
