About SCI's testing process
Responding to requests from cooks, agencies, and manufacturers, SCI created an objective, scientific process to measure solar cooker performance specifications: the Performance Evaluation Process (PEP). Solar cooks and purchasing agencies around the world need these valuable performance specifications to select the solar cooker that best fits their needs.
-
SCI's PEP is standards-based, replicable, and based on the internationally accepted ASAE S580.1 protocol for Testing and Reporting Solar Cooker Performance.
-
SCI's PEP is aligned with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) test protocols for clean cookstoves and clean cooking solutions.
-
SCI prioritizes PEP tested solar cookers.
SCI is a solar cooker testing center recognized by the
Clean Cooking Alliance.
Evaluations are arranged by SCI and conducted at Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers (RTKCs) in Nairobi, Kenya; Lalitpur, Nepal; California, USA; and New York, USA.
Official Results from the Solar Cookers International (SCI) Performance Evaluation Process (PEP)
Solar cookers are listed alphabetically below and color-coded by type: reflective-panel cookers (orange); box ovens (green); and evacuated tubes (purple).
SCI provides this information to benefit solar cooks and future solar cooks, agencies, and manufacturers; but this information is proprietary, so please do not publish it further without written permission from SCI.
