"PV is like going to the moon. Solar cooking is more like walking down the road. We need more stuff like walking down the road to make sustainability happen." (J. Biemer) The main objective of the survey was to aid that mainstreaming process which has proven helpful with other “now emerged” technologies. One part of this objective was to develop a set of protocols to measure energy savings attributable to the use of solar cookers in U.S. households. Another part of this objective was to collect basic cooking and demographic data from solar cooker households:

  • "PV is like going to the moon. Solar cooking is more like walking down the road. We need more stuff like walking down the road to make sustainability happen." (J. Biemer) The main objective of the survey was to aid that mainstreaming process which has proven helpful with other “now emerged” technologies. One part of this objective was to develop a set of protocols to measure energy savings attributable to the use of solar cookers in U.S. households. Another part of this objective was to collect basic cooking and demographic data from solar cooker households: The surveyed solar cooking households averaged over 70 solar cooking days in 2012, saving 33% of their total cooking energy during the solar cooking months. This was estimated to be equal to 15% of their total annual cooking energy. The survey results indicate that an average U.S. solar cooking household would save 190 kWh or about $45 per year. Some noteworthy trends were observed: 1. * Surveyed solar cooking households usually own more than one solar cooker, favoring box style cookers. 2. * Energy savings were not as climate-correlated as one may suppose. There is a large portion of the US in which surveyed solar cooking households tend to solar cook 2 times per week in the months the sun reliably shines. 3. * Surveyed solar cooking households tend to have fewer members than the average U.S. household. Also, solar cooking household members tend to be older. 4. * Surveyed solar cooking households tend to eat at home more often than the average U.S. household.
