Israel has a history of developing solar heating, with a law to have solar heat collectors for hot water on every building, with the largest solar heating company in the world in the late 80's until 1999 called Luz, and today with two of the largest solar heating energy companies in the world both near the city of Beit Shemesh (meaning in Hebrew: The House of the Sun): Sollel and Luz II. Also a large portion of the Weitzman institute consists of one of the largest solar collector tower and basin in the world.

Solar cooking is quite common, but in some places like the city of Eilat, there is no need to do anything, and frequently every summer, when temperatures reach 40 degrees celsius and more, the news shows how people fry an egg on a car's roof.
