The unavailability of sunlight during nighttime and cloudy weather condition has limited the usage of solar cookers throughout the day. This study will attempt to engineer a solar cooker with PV (photovoltaic panel), evacuated tubes with CPC reflectors, battery, and charge controller using the microcontroller PIC 16F877A. A mathematical model is developed to predict the electrical power (E) required during cloudy weather condition and nighttime as well as the temperatures occurring at different parts of the cooker. The proposed model is validated against experimental observations gathered for one of the typical working days of the system. The cooker is tested for various cooking loads to find the cooking time, and it is proven that the proposed cooker can be utilized over 24/7 without interruption.
在夜间和阴天，阳光无法照射，这限制了太阳能炊具的全天使用。本研究旨在利用微控制器 PIC 16F877A 为太阳能炊具配备光伏（太阳能电池板）、带有 CPC 反射器的真空管、电池和充电器。开发了一个数学模型来预测阴天和夜间所需的电力（E）以及炊具不同部位的温度。所提出的模型是通过对系统典型工作日之一的实验观测结果进行验证的。对各种烹饪负荷进行了测试，以确定烹饪时间，结果证明，所提出的炊具可以在 24/7 不间断的情况下使用。
