If you do anything with solar cookers - design, manufacture, promote, support, or use them - this website is for you. A wiki is a website anyone can edit!
This wiki is an interactive companion site to the Solar Cooking Archive. Both sites seek to spread solar cooking worldwide to improve health and prosperity, reduce deforestation, and limit global warming.
We are focusing this week on solar cooking in Sudan. Sudan is the #11 country in terms of its potential for solar cooking. By 2020 it is estimated that over 6.6 million Sudanese in sunny areas of the country will be suffering from a lack of cooking fuel.
This effort is in line with Solar Cookers International's initiative to improve the depth of content in the Solar Cooking Archive Wiki by focusing on one country per week. In 2007 this wiki had over 110,000 unique visitors. When these visitors navigate to a given country page, we believe that it is important that they obtain a complete view of solar cooking activities for that country. Incomplete pages give the wrong impression by making it seem that not much is happening in the country in question.
We urge you to participate in this endeavor by looking over the country-page-of-the-week and adding any information that you see is missing and/or editing information that you see is wrong. Don’t worry about making mistakes with formatting or placement of information. We, the sysops, will be watching all changes and we’ll jump in to fix up anything that is misplaced or not formatted correctly.
To participate, register on this wiki (if you haven’t already) by going to Registration page (Registration is optional, but recommended.) Then navigate to the Sudan page.
Compendium of solar cooker designs
Dr. Ashok Kundapur has created a detailed compendium of existing solar cooker designs. The goal of the compendium is to show all major designs and their variations so solar cooker designers can avoid wasting time on designs which have already been tested. You can add to the compendium by editing any of the pages.
SCIA's aim is the wider spread of solar cooking, pasteurizing, and food processing through more partnerships with UN agencies, international development and relief organizations, policy makers, businesses and networks related to women, health and energy.
