Abstract

The problem on energy consumption in the household, especially in cooking activities is the air pollution. Therefore, the priority to overcome the matter is by creating a solar cooker that can produce a high temperature energy which can be applied for cooking, boiling, and frying. The concept of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is to produce maximum temperature, and it was achieved using an environmentally friendly parabolic dish solar cooker. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of environmentally friendly parabolic dish solar cookers. In his study, a parabolic dish equipped with a solar reflector film was used to reflect solar radiation. The samples used were water and oil. The parameter measurements were temperature distribution of solar cookers and the efficiency of solar cookers. At the end of this study, fish as a food product was tested to fry using the solar cooker. Based on the test, it found that the solar cooker has an efficiency of 20.5% at a solar radiation of 887.9 Wm−2 with an ambient temperature between 32.7 and 36.2 °C. The fried fish has a normal flesh texture and flavour. It indicated that this type of solar cooker is suitable to be used as cooking, boiling, and frying tool. Thus, this solar cooker can be recommended as a cooking tool for the needs of households and home industries.
