This research paper presents the design, development, thermal performance evaluation, efficiency and payback period of non-tracking solar cooker. Length to width ratio of the cooker was designed as 3.8:1 so that maximum reflected radiation falls on the glass window at any time in a day. It led to removal of azimuthal tracking which is a must for hot box solar cooker. The overall efficiency of the non-tracking solar cooker is 25.2%. During testing in April, 2019, the highest plate stagnation temperature, under no-load condition, approached 138°C. The developed non-tracking solar cooker was tested as per different test procedures as standardized by American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Stagnation and water boiling test of the solar cooker were performed during April, 2019 to determine the first figure of merit (F1), second figure of merit (F2) and standardized cooking power (Ps). Experimental evaluation showed these criteria (F1, F2 and Ps) as 0.121, 0.401 and 46.50 W, which indicate that the developed cooker falls under category “A”, as per standard. The cooker saves 2587.5 MJ of energy per year. The cost of the cooker is ₹ 9000.00 (1.0 US$ = ₹67.16). The payback period of the solar cooker was calculated as compared to firewood, electricity, charcoal, LPG and kerosene-based cooking. The payback period was 1.58 yrs when
compared to firewood.
