Short answer 150° C (300° F).
My personal cooker only reaches 130 degrees, but a friend of mine has recorded his at over 150° C (300° F)! You only need about 90° C (200° F) to sufficiently cook food, and most box-style solar cookers (even if you've made mistakes in making your cooker) have no problem meet this temperature. Make sure to measure the temperature inside your cooker before trusting it to cook anything though. I suggest trying to boil water, which boils at 100° C (212° F), or using a thermometer. Some more advanced panel designs and parabolic cookers can get just as hot or hotter than a stove-top burner!
