With their first batch of solar cookers and stoves produced in 2006, the initial purpose of the association was to make solar cooking more widely known across the country by educating residents about the need for solar cooking. The Solar Association Tiloo established its own solar cooker and stove making workshop in early 2007 and made it's mission to bring down the cost of living for individual families by using this inexpensive and healthy type of cooking. It is their aim to encourage people to learn how we use the sun for cooking, baking, as well as roasting peanuts and drying fruits.
