Financial feasibility analysis of box-type solar cookers in India

A framework for financial evaluation of a box-type solar cooker, using cost functions for its capital cost, has been developed. The annual benefits accrued to the user are quantified in terms of number of meals cooked per year and monetary worth of the fuel saved per meal. Expressions for some financial performance indicators have been derived and results of typical numerical calculations are briefly presented.
