Parabolic Solar Cooker
Women Barefoot Solar Cooker Engineers Society
Artisanal parabolic solar cookers made by women trained through the Women Barefoot Solar Engineers Society.
The Parabolic Solar Cooker is a solar cooker that directly transforms sunlight into heat by concentrating the sunrays through a set of mirrors arranged parabolically, supported by a metallic structure. The Women Barefoot Solar Cooker Engineers Society provides women from developing countries with training to build, install, and maintain parabolic solar cookers for their communities.
The women, also called Solar Mamas, are trained in a six-month Solar Training Program in Rajasthan, where they learn skills such as operation and functioning of different solar cookers and how to use more than 50 different tools. They also learn how to assemble 300 mirrors and entrepreneurial skills.
