It powers the ovens at Le Présage, in Marseille, in a system chef Pierre-André Aubert (who was an aeronautical engineer) has been engaged on for a decade. He hopes to chop its carbon footprint by 50% and in addition to the photo voltaic stove-powered by two big parabolic mirrors which focus the solar’s rays the entire restaurant has been designed with energy-saving in thoughts. The purpose is to prepare dinner 80% of the time utilizing solar energy, which heats the range to a searing 400°C. Good job Marseille will get 3,000 hours of sunshine a 12 months!
