About SCI's testing process

Responding to requests from cooks, agencies, and manufacturers, SCI created an objective, scientific process to measure solar cooker performance specifications: the Performance Evaluation Process (PEP).  Solar cooks and purchasing agencies around the world need these valuable performance specifications to select the solar cooker that best fits their needs.


SCI is a solar cooker testing center recognized by the
Clean Cooking Alliance.

Evaluations are arranged by SCI and conducted at Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers (RTKCs) in Nairobi, Kenya; Lalitpur, Nepal; California, USA; and New York, USA.

SCI provides this information to benefit solar cooks and future solar cooks, agencies, and manufacturers; but this information is proprietary, so please do not publish it further without written permission from SCI.
