Solar Cookstove

IIT Bombay has designed and developed a Solar PV Cook-stove (Solar Chulha), as a clean alternative to cooking. It is an induction-based cook-stove that works on DC, powered by Solar PV panels with battery pack. It can be used to for all types of domestic cooking processes – Boiling, Frying and Griddling (chapatti making), with a daily cooking time of 3-4 hours per day on a full charge. Designed to generate electricity with Solar PV modules, the SPV cook stove is modular and can easily be configured to cater to small as well as large cooking needs. This IITB-designed solar PV cook-stove product has received the first prize, in April 2018, in the National level competition ‘Solar Chulha Challenge’ conducted by ONGC.
