Alain Bivas won the Lépine competition ten years ago for having created a solar oven. Since then, his invention, entirely made by hand and in France, has been around the world.
Without energy consumption and without risk of fire, the solar oven created by Alain Bivas is an invention of the future. With its parable-like appearance, it cooks food by reflecting the heat of the sun. Its inventor named it Sunplicity. Distinguished with a gold medal at the Lépine competition ten years ago, this solar oven is produced in the Tarn, in a work-assistance workshop that employs people with disabilities.
“All the reasons are good for cooking solar cooker, it is not only global warming, there is also the pollution of proximity, the economy, autonomy, independence, free. And then , there is the taste, it’s good ! “, highlights Alain Bivas. His invention is meeting more and more success in France, and even all over the world: orders come from Australia, Asia and the United States. For now, the production remains artisanal. About six ovens roll off the line in a week.
