In Quebec, a good proportion of our sunny days happens in winter.
Captors would need to be set-up outside with big bundles of fiber optics to bring the light inside where the actual cooking would occur.

The parabolic Solar Burner will still cook when the clouds are high and thin.  The Oven needs some direct sunlight.  It will hold its' heat while a cloud passes by but it slows down the cooking.  Here in Arizona we generally get lots of sun so solar cooking is a cinch.  I love cooking out doors and in the summer I can still bake and cook without heating up the house which saves money on air conditioning, gas, and electricity.  If you get any sunny days at all I would recommend Solar cooking.  Free energy what could be better than that.

I wish I lived in a country where I could eat solar-cooked food reliably - more often than one out of four days. How does it fare on semi-cloudy days?

Just another way to reduce our carbon foot print.
