Sun Cook - our origins...

The great leap forward in solar cookers.

> FIRST IN ITS CLASS

DURABILITY

The high quality of its materials and components made the Sun Cook the first solar oven attaining quality levels that appealled to the most demanding customers.

OPTICS

The Sun Cook was the first solar oven to use Compound Parabolic Concentrators inside, for the most effective use of the incoming solar radiation.

EFFICIENCY

First-class materials and components allowed for unrivaled performance due to high insulation levels.

SOPHISTICATION

Clever devices, such as the side mirror and the sundial, contributed to the easy and pleasing experiences felt by users all ver the world.

> HOW IT WORKED

OUTSIDE

The Sun Cook oven uses for the first time ever in a cooker the so called "non imaging optics“. It works as a greenhouse, capturing the sun's rays through the glass lid. Solar radiation is also reflected by the external flat mirrors into the cooking compartment doubling the input of energy. The external side mirror avoids the need to regularly refocus the oven by redirecting the Sun's rays that would otherwise be reflected sideways.

INSIDE

Inside the cooking compartment mirrored walls act as compound parabolic concentrators (CPC), greatly reducing the need for regular re-orientation. These concentrate all incoming solar radiation to the bottom absorbing plate, which in turn radiates heat allowing for a very homogeneous temperature to be attained. The cooking compartment's insulation and the double glass lid prevent thermal losses and may keep food warm for hours even after sunset. Ideal for late dinners then.
