"To help feed the country’s population, an inventor, Toufic Hamdan, created a commercial bakery to bake bread in solar ovens. The startup “Partners With Sun” has installed a solar convection oven on the bakery’s roof. The Solar Oven uses large silver mirrors to capture and magnify the sun’s rays to build heat. The heat is transported by a transfer fluid which is then used to help operate a convection oven, allowing it to reach a baking temperature of between 300 and 400 Celsius. The heat is used directly in food and beverage production. " Baking Bread in a Solar Oven | Happy Eco News
According to the company website, “The Solar Oven cuts up to 80% of the bakery’s fuel bill.”
This is really cool! I think getting solar coolers into form factors compatible with how kitchens already operate could be a huge step towards adoption of the tech. It's part of why I really like (this slightly simpler design)[https://solarcooking.fandom.com/wiki/Scheffler_Community_Kitchen]. I think the convenience factor in systems like this, where the cooks can operate basically as if it was a conventional oven, is great
