SOLAR ELECTRIC THERMAL STORAGE WITH PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL FRYING PAN
What is Solar Electric Technology?
A huge problem in places where they use open stoves for cooking is the smoke, which causes severe eye irritation and leads to various cancers and health problems. Solar Electric cooking eliminates the need for cooking with fire.

What is Thermal Storage with Phase Change Materials?
Thermal storage using phase change materials is another method of cooking via solar power. Rather than having heat immediately, the idea is that you "charge" the pot all day by leaving it in the sun, and at night, the heat from the phase change materials allows the pot to stay hot enough for cooking.
A BIT ABOUT US
Turning Interest Into Action
Our goal is to build an insulated solar-powered hot spot that is both portable and functional for extended periods of time. Looking to build upon the experimental solar kitchen that is already in place at Quail Springs, our solar cooker will be used for demonstrating the efficiency and simplicity of solar cooking.
