Huge Solar Powered Commercial Kitchen

India boasts the world’s largest solar powered commercial kitchen at one of its universities capable of providing up to 38,500 meals a day.

That’s a lot of cooking and dishwashing as well as being an amazingly complicated build project. The cooking pots are usually 200 or 400 litre capacity and presumably the ladles are huge.

Some commercial catering equipment UK companies have been involved in large projects but I doubt any have been approached to handle anything quite that big. The power comes from 84 dishes that look like massive TV ones seen on rooftops but at a little over nine square metres each and the very latest in solar technology they are clearly hundreds of times more expensive.

Commercial catering equipment is never cheap but it has to be made to an exacting standard with the best materials to withstand the constant use it takes. Unlike your home kitchen the commercial kitchen is a fulltime place of work for perhaps several people and in the case of that huge solar powered restaurant in India perhaps hundreds.

One of the trickiest parts of designing a large kitchen is making it accessible to all the various chefs and helpers without a situation where they’re tripping over each other.

With good kitchen design this is all known as the flow from goods inwards to waste removal and washing utensils. Somewhere along the line the customer must be served delicious hot food. Proper dining with waiter service and sit down three or four course meals requires a lot of work although it can be very rewarding when you get it right.

A handful of chefs just get the formula working to perfection and we can all probably think of a few chefs that have sold that formula in the way of franchises leaving them more time to appear on their own television shows.


Garners have fitted kitchens for a variety of businesses and institutions from private restaurants to large works canteens including some for those dining at Her Majesty’s pleasure.
