Cultura Pirca

From Solar Cooking

In five villages in the Argentinian Altiplano Cultura Pirca has installed an 8-square-meter Scheffler reflector which are used as a public installation for baking. Everyday five families can bake the bread they need for one week, thereby saving each of them 20-30 kg of precious firewood. The project has been carried out in cooperation with the NGO Ecoandina. Cultura Pirca also works with smaller parabolic cookers like the K14 as well as with solar water heating.
