Solar DC Cooking System developed by CSIR-CMERI
- This cooking System is a Solar Energy based Cooking System that consists of solar PV panel, charge controller, battery bank and cooking oven.
- The technology provides a Clean Cooking Environment, Invertor-Less Direct Operation, Fast and Uniform Heating, and a potential to save 1 ton Carbon Dioxide emissions year/household.
- It has 20-25% better efficiency and is more Economical in comparison with Conventional Solar based Cooking Systems.
- Prof. Harish Hirani, Director, CSIR-CMERI, handed over the CSIR-CMERI developed Solar DC Cooking System to the Asansol Braille Academy, West Bengal.
- The CSIR-CMERI developed Solar DC Cooking Technology was transferred to two business entities namely M/s Asansol Solar & LED House and M/s Meeco Solar & Infrastructure Associates, Durgapur.
- The simple Technology Design also ensures Ease-of-Manufacturing and thus provides a substantial Economic Opportunity for the Micro-Industries.
- Along with the widening of the popular base of the Technology, there is a probability of improvement in Job Prospects.
- The Technology once it reaches the market will cost in the range of Rs 65,000- Rs 70,000. Similar to other Solar Energy based products, if Government subsidies are provided there will be a significant reduction in the price of the product. "
