There is a wide variety of solar cookers available in the marketplace today. Some designs are easy to build yourself with inexpensive materials, and plans can be found at solar cooker plans. Cookers that are available commercially can offer convenience, and are typically constructed from durable materials. Most self-made designs will not be waterproof. Basically, cookers can be divided into three groups: Box, Panel, Parabolic. The table below lists strengths and weaknesses of the most common types. Determine which type of cooker might best suit your requirements. It is always best to buy a cooker from a local source since shipping costs can be very expensive.
Below you will find a gallery of some featured manufacturers and vendors followed by a complete list of such. To see Manufacturers and vendors by country, first choose a country.

Solar Cookers for sale by country

Buy from Solar Cookers International
Box, Panel, and Parabolic solar cookers are available through Solar Cookers International, the sponsor of this wiki, from their online ordering site: Solar Cookers International Marketplace. Proceeds help fund the many projects SCI is involved with around the world promoting solar cooking and water purification. Particularly in areas facing deforestation, and where smoke inhalation from traditional wood burning stoves is a serious health problem. The available solar cookers are listed below. See their site for a complete listing of accessories.
All American Sun Oven
A high performance solar box cooker, the All American Sun Oven is made of durable molded fiberglass and kiln-dried hardwood for years of use. Anodized aluminum reflectors come with 15-year warranty not to rust. Reaches temperatures in the mid- to upper-300ºFs. Weighs 21 pounds and features a convenient carrying handle. Includes oven thermometer.
SolSource
SolSource is a high-performance parabolic solar cooker that harnesses the energy of the sun for outdoor cooking. Perfect for your garden, balcony, backyard or rooftop, it is an innovative way to BBQ, grill, steam, bake, boil or fry. Inspired by the problem of indoor pollution from household stoves faced by rural families in China, SolSource is the first of a growing range of products from One Earth Designs.
All Season Solar Cooker
The key design feature of the All Season Solar Cooker is its adjustable, coordinated reflector array. Working from one of two initial orientations "summer/midday" or "winter/morning", it can focus on a solar elevation of 40º to 90º (summer) or 0º to 50º (winter). The cooker accomplishes this while maintaining a level cooking floor at all times. The advantage of the ASSC is that it can efficiently capture the earliest morning sun - starting cooking far earlier than most other designs.
Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light
The Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light is a small, compact, inexpensive solar panel cooker made from attractively colored, durable, reflective vinyl covered panels. The Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light comes as an easily assembled kit. Because it is light weight and folds flat you can take it camping, fishing, Backpacking, to the beach or just use it at home.
HotPot
The HotPot is a versatile solar cooker, good for use at RV parks, on the boat, in the backyard, emergency or disaster preparedness, and regular use. Reflectors are made of polished aluminum. The 3 liter (~3 qt.) steel cooking bowl is coated with UV absorbent food grade enamel and comes with a glass lid. Panels can be easily folded for storage. Cooking temperature ranges up to 250°F (120°C).
