We were discussing in our
previous post about the working of solar panel i.e. “How solar panel works” and
we have also seen the importance of renewable energy resources.
As we know that nonrenewable
energy sources are limited and we need to save these sources by using other
sources of energy such as solar energy. As we know that energy from sun is free
and very powerful, hence this powerful energy might be useful in our daily
need.
In this post, we will see how to
make one light duty solar oven which is quite useful these days across the
world. If we have solar oven, we do not need to relay on fuel and electricity
only.
Material selection
Material selection for any
product is very critical step as overall performance of that product depends on
raw material used.
We will consider here material
for manufacturing solar oven for light duty & following materials are
required for manufacturing a solar oven of light duty.
- Boxes 02 nos. one box should be placed in another box and there should be at least 30 mm clearance.
- Shredded newspapers
- Cardboards 04 no
- Black paper of construction
- Metallic auto sunshade
- Polished metals
- Aluminum foils
- Rubber cements & tape
- Rod = 8 nos
- School glue
Design and manufacturing Process
Before going to design phase,
designers observe following terms in order to provide the best design for solar
oven.
- Availability & Costing of materials
- Site of heavy intensity of sun light
- Capacity required as per customer need
There are following simple steps that should be
followed during manufacturing of solar oven
Step, 1
Installation of boxes in such way that one box will
be inside other with 30 mm of clearances
Step, 2
Providing layer inside of boxes with the help of
construction black paper as mentioned below in picture
Step, 3
In this step we have to cover cardboards with such a
material as reflective materials.
Step, 4
In this step we have to provide a reflector at the
top position for 1 side of box only
Step, 5
In this step we have to
locate all reflectors at 450 angles
Step, 6
By locating oven in full sun light we may cook food
as shown in figure.

Life cycle analysis
In following figure we will be
able to understand the cycle analysis light duty solar oven.

Recyclability and overall product appeal
Solar oven for light duty will be
made by such products those are recyclable easily. Solar oven will be made with
the help of such materials those could be disposed easily such as card boards
and refrigerator-boxes from appliance store.
If we look the whole concept behind making solar
oven, we will realize that it’s less costly and more importantly that we are
not using fossil fuels those are quite dangerous for environment. So the idea
to make a solar oven will be environmental friendly as well as economical also.
I will request to all my readers to contribute in

i.e. How to make light duty solar oven. We will see how to make heavy duty solar oven in our
next post.
