Insulated Solar Electric Cooking - Tomorrow's healthy affordable stoves?

We present a cooking technology consisting of a solar panel directly connected to an electric heater inside of a well-insulated chamber. Assuming continued decrease in solar panel prices, we anticipate that in a few decades Solar Electric Cooking (SEC) technologies will be the most common cooking technology for the poor. Appropriate use of insulation reduces the power demand making low-power Insulated Solar Electric Cooking (ISEC) systems already cost competitive. We present a $100 prototype and preliminary results of two implementations in Uganda.
