What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a solar cooker.? Are there places where solar cookers would have limited utility?

Dear Student


Advantages of solar cooker:

(a) It does not need any fuel for cooking food.
(b) It is pollution free.
(c) It is cheap and easy to handle.
Disadvantages of solar cooker:
(a) It is very slow, takes long time for cooking.
(b) It is dependent on sun’s light, cannot work on cloudy day.
(c) The reflectors position need to be monitored so as it reflects the sunlight at the centre focused point of the solar cooker.
Yes-the places where sun’s energy not sufficient, the use of solar cookers would be limited

Thanks
