A solar cooker is a device which cooks food with the help of solar energy and can save the conventional fuels to a significant amount. It, however, supplements the cooking fuel and cannot replace it in total. Solar energy is abundantly available in India. On clear sunny days, it is possible to cook noon meal for 4 to 5 people in a normal Box solar cooker and if one desires either full or part evening meal could also be cooked in it. Concentrating Cookers can cook food for large number of people faster than box solar cookers. Cardboard cookers could be useful for high solar insolation areas with less wind.
Thus, there are three main types of solar cooker
1. Box solar cookers
2. Concentrating solar cookers
3. Cardboard solar cookers
