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
