Living off-grid has never been easier. Whether you are a boater, or RVer, love fishing, sailing, camping, or van life, or want to live more independently, GoSun has a product you will love. They are passionate about our innovative products and how they power our customers’ lives. GoSun has developed breakthrough solar technologies that can cook, cool, light, charge, or purify using only the Sun. With our solar gear, the adventure never ends.

This solar oven is a remarkable invention that harnesses the power of the sun to cook food with ease, regardless of the weather or season. With its ability to reach temperatures of up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, it offers a versatile cooking solution for various dishes. Solar ovens work by using sunlight to heat food. The sun's rays enter the oven through a transparent window and are reflected off the inside of the oven, which is lined with a reflective material. This trapped heat cooks the food.

This is my other #GoSun Solar Oven. I won't get into the pros/cons of this one vs. the Fusion right now, esp since I'd do things a bit differently if I was on the design or beta test team, but what I use this one for is for making/keeping beverages ☕️ 🍵 🔥 HOT 🔥 and it works like a CHAMP!!! I just took this pick (it's almost 9pm, so the oven's been folded up & in my home for over 2 hours, and dang, that tube has kept my coffee hot this whole time. It's not still scalding, but it's hot enough to still be drinking hot vs. warm coffee. I'll just add that instead of the tiny model they make, with a zipper case, they should have taken THIS design & decreased the width down to accommodate the kettle. These products are incredible, though & I think my energy needs to be reserved to give them some constructive criticism on their camper, but I do have 2 solid suggestions for them for future oven designs. Still, no regrets whatsoever. Not that I can handle a hurricane disaster right now, and I seriously can't, but next time around, I'll be so much better equipped! The GoSun kitchen with dual panel table is SO NICE, plus I have Bunnie the Wondervan storing solar every day, but I've got a very good idea of the direction I want to go next & just hope everything will be in place before I ever have to endure another event like what Irma created in my area. Man, that was rough! I still haven't fully recovered from that. At least if hardship is in the near future, poison-free cooking & coffee are covered. 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjST5AOWG9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Solar Oven Facts: How the Technology Works

This article features solar oven facts that explain how the technology works and its comparable advantages and disadvantages to conventional cooking. We'll also describe why we think the GoSun makes the best solar ovens.

The Cutting Edge of Solar Technology

The GoSun's patented solar cooking technology can bake, boil or fry a meal using nothing but energy from the sun, even in clouds, wind and freezing conditions. Heating up to 550°F/280°C while staying cool to touch, the stove's performance is only made possible from a combination of ideal materials and clever engineering.

Let's take a look inside:

Solar Oven Facts: The Solar Vacuum Tube

The core of GoSun Technology is with the vacuum tube cooking chamber, which absorbs light while acting as a perfect insulator. We think of it as a physics hack, one of thermodynamic’s only free lunches.

A perfect insulator? That’s right. Between the tube’s two layers of borosilicate glass (wiki link), is a pocket of beautiful nothing (AKA outer space). Heat requires a medium to transfer. Without a thermal bridge, the heat absorbed by the stove collects rapidly.

How is the heat absorbed? Great question! The internal face of the tube is coated in three layers of metal: aluminum nitride, stainless steel, and copper. Placed on the inside of the vacuum (away from your food), these three layers work in unison to trap both viable light and ultraviolet, allowing one to cook in a light overcast.

Aluminum Nitride: An absorber common in the semiconductor industry with fantastic energy absorbing properties.

Stainless Steel: Moves heat evenly, cooking food cooking from 360°.

Copper: Reflecting heat, in the form of infrared radiation, back into the tube.

What is borosilicate glass? Borosilicate glass is known for its chemical and thermal resistance, making it a go-to choice for bakeware, LED lights, and lab equipment.  

So this is high-tech, right? This technology is new but not cutting edge. GoSun founder and solar energy expert, Patrick Sherwin, got the idea while working with a solar vacuum tube water heater. The tubes used for solar hot water heaters have been known to last decades on roofs around the world.

Solar Oven Facts: Compound Parabolic Reflectors

Compound parabolic reflectors concentrate light from a variety of angles onto the cooking tube. This means that there's little need to re-adjust the stove while cooking and even diffused light (such as light going through clouds) can be focused on the tube.

Roland Winston invented the first compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) in 1974, a breakthrough technology in solar energy. His discovery has now been used extensively in solar energy collection, wireless communication, and biomedical research.  

Solar Oven Facts: Cook Times With Our Solar Cookers

Solar cooking times vary but this chart will help you figure out what to expect when dealing with the weather.

Heat Bank Technology (GoSun Grill Only)

This simple innovation allows the GoSun Grill to cook steadily with inconsistent sunlight and in some cases, cook small meals or leftovers without sunlight. The Grill’s tubular oven chamber is designed with a highly conductive aluminum chassis. While in sunlight, it channels heat into a heat bank underneath the tray. This heat bank allows you to store heat until you're ready to use it, meaning once up to temperature, the Heat Bank will help guarantee a consistent cook, even when the sun is lacking.

We hope these solar oven facts were useful and we can't wait to partner with you in the quest to produce delicious solar cooked food.

I hate to say “here’s a thing I bought” but I have bought some cool solar powered items recently, things I could not build myself, and one I really like is this solar oven. The only problem I had with it was that it sat on the ground, which limited the places I could use it and how it could be oriented. Horizontally it can be used as a solar oven to bake or cook things, I made lemon poppy seed muffins yesterday, vertically it can heat up water. So to make using it vertically easier and to make it useful horizontally on uneven ground I decided to put in a tripod mount from an old camera. The base of the oven is aluminum so it was easy to drill a hole short enough to fit a jack nut into the base. Then it was just a matter of tightening the nut, which crushes the sides of the nut out and seals it in place. Now I can use this on uneven ground, vertically, and not need to crouch down to check on it or clean dust off it as much.

So grateful to be up while the sun's still out. I've got laundry on the line, portable power packs charging (for whatever, they'll even power the solar oven, a coffee brewer, & any other 12v thing including a 12v fridge). I actually have a lot of small things charging, & of course the big PVs powering the grid, the van PV is charging the van house battery, but best of all are the Brussels Sprouts roasting in the solar oven now, and it smells Mmm, Mmm, good! My other #gosun arrived recently (the one with the kettle to boil water), but I've been way too sick to unpack & use it, still I'm really looking forward to using it asap. Now just hoping to be awake when the sun's out & able to make split pea soup in the solar oven tomorrow.🤞 If not, it'll be disappointing, but at least I got to cook in it 3 times recently (sweet potatoes, asparagus). Cooking in batches like this really helps navigate around being so sick & I'm able to freeze these things then reheat them vs. struggle with all that's usually involved with cooking. I knew the statistical odds were that #mecfs was eventually gonna take me down, and I did try to prepare, still nothing can really prepare you for full blown disability. It's so much harder than you can imagine. The learning curve for meeting your ADLs is extremely steep. Cooking 1 bulk item/day helps a lot, & I really love when I can do it in the solar oven. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjgVZRgAtdV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
