From 26 – 29 November 2024, the SoCoNexGen project partner University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia, hosted a commissioning workshop for solar cookers. The workshop was attended by SoCoNexGen partners from Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Portugal and Germany. At the workshop, the focus was on the commissioning of a solar cooker, knowledge transfer and building of an oil-based electric solar cooker and project work package discussions among other topics. All partners now look forward to thoroughly testing and comparing the various solar cooker types that were developed in the project in the coming months.
