SCI won for its work “improving human and environmental health by supporting the expansion of effective carbon-free solar cooking in world regions of greatest need” in the Social and Cultural Pathways category.

SCI has also been honored by entities such as the California State Legislature[7] and the Center for African Peace and Conflict Resolution.

To help build capacity for solar cooking, SCI offers a wide range of free online educational resources on its website.

PEP test stations automate a protocol that harmonizes with guidelines published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

This wiki operates as a virtual community collaborating to improve and disseminate solar thermal technology for its positive impact on health and environmental degradation.
