ADES recognized another solar energy opportunity that would work well with their solar cooking promotion. As long as the solar cooker is being tended for a few hours each day for cooking, why not build-in strips of photovoltaic panels to create some electricity? The power is stored in batteries attached under the cooker. Fully charged, the unit can power 12 volt lights for a few days, run a radio, and recharge cellphones. The multiple functions compliment and encourage use of the solar appliance.
