Update from SIGGY .ng

Martin Osei, a graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), was the driving force behind the design of the Insulated Solar Electric Cooker.

In an interview, the smart young guy stated that he studied Mechanical Engineering and graduated in 2018, following which he is now pursuing his master’s degree in the United States of America.

For the past three years, we have been developing the solar cooker as a solution to the cooking needs of individuals living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most people still rely on charcoal, which is bad for the environment, or on gas, which is expensive“, he stated.

Martin’s solar cooker has entered the first phases of manufacture in seven nations, thanks to initial financing from UK Aid. India, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, Uganda, Sierra Leone, and South Africa are among the countries involved.

Because of its particular insulation and an unharmful chemical that retains heat, he claims that the Insulated Solar Electric Cooker can supply enough heat for families and individuals to cook their meals even after the sun goes down.

The best aspect is that, after the initial investment in the cooker, it may be used to prepare meals for roughly 25 years, which is the usual lifespan of a solar panel before an additional investment is required.

When mass manufacturing begins, the cost of each cooker is expected to be $110.

Kudos to the latest innovator.

This is actually the only thing that makes sense in a subsaharan country which sees a lot of sunlight.

Everything we need in life is actually around us.
We just need to use our brain in the right direction. Africa would change drastically when we start looking inwards.

$110 dollar is an affordable price considering the lifespan of the panel.
