Abstract: Incorporation of an electrical backup in a Solar Box Cooker (SBC) makes it operative throughout the year. The backup should be such that the essential characteristics of the solar cooker are retained and the energy consumption should be as low as possible. An estimate of electrical power requirement of a heater for an Indian SBC is presented considering its no-load figure of merit and energy balance at stagnation. It is found that a 160 W heater is sufficient for cooking.
