Abstract: Solar cooking technologies have large potential in developing countries. Many of the solar cookers (particularly box type and parabolic concentrating type solar cookers) have been commercialized in different parts of the world. An effective quality control is essential for a large-scale dissemination of solar thermal technologies on the products being offered by the industry to the end users. For this, there is a need to establish test procedures and methodologies for developing performance characteristic parameters, which could provide an equitable basis for comparison of performances of the products. A comprehensive review of various test procedures of solar cookers has been undertaken in this study.
