1. Introduction






Solar energy is one of the renewable energy if green
energy which can be replenished. With the publics
increasing desire for more efficient, affordable and
money-saving technology, we seek sources of energy
that have a lower environmental impact. Hot plate is a
portable self-contained electric heating elements to
substitute the burners from cook top of kitchen stove.
However, this appliance is not efficient enough as it
uses non-renewable energy that will be depleted in the
future. Alternatively, a solar hot plate will not only
conserve energy but also reduce our living cost through
harvesting energy from the sun.

2.1 The purpose of the research
In our country and in other developing countries, the
use of firewood as combustible for cooking has
contributed to deforestation of large zones .Therefore ,
the writer interested to find out other solution which is
suitable for outdoor activity such as camping and
picnic and no need to bring the gas cylinder. Other than
that, it is economic, eco-friendly and innovative .
Method of the research
The research was conducted in Seri Puteri Science
Secondary School. It contains solar panel ,solar stand
,rechargeable battery, heating plate and panel box.The
procedures are as follows: Prepared the solar panel.
Firstly, we insert the 12V battery into the battery
holder. then we Joint the parts of the heating plate and
lastly we connect the solar panel wire to the heating
plate wire.

5. Conclusion
According to our results, the mini solar hot plate can be
used to support the implementation of the future
cooking appliances.Using sustainable energy resource
that are eco-friendly, it can be charged using solar
energy.The mini solar hot plate also meet the
requirement of its users as it can be used anytime or
anywhere during the presence or absence of sunlight.
5.1 Suggestion
There are several suggestions for this research: to
create a small, portable and lighter renewable cooking
appliance using dry cells instead of battery
accumulator, storing higher energy voltage.
