Solar Freezer

If you are living in a remote village in the tropics there are a lot of things that won't be available to you. But for most of the year sunshine is not one of them. While solar power has its limitiations, technology keeps improving which this new product is proof of.

This freezer could be a great help in running a clinic or even in a private home.

"The custom, made to order IIS solution will maintain temperatures as cold as -5F (-20C) for at least 24 hours between charge, but with the (up to) 400 amp hr battery capacity and the solar panels working in harmony and regular exposure to sunlight, you should be able to go completely off-grid indefinitely.

VP of Corporate Accounts Jason Luedtke: "Our initial goal was to create a unit that would maintain the power source to the fridge/freezer for three full days with no sun exposure. That was our goal, the clouds come out you get a three day buffer. Our prototype testing proved that the unit maintained adequate power to hold temperature for nine days before we drifted out of proper temp range. We considered this a success.... but each unit (based on size/therefore power draw) and ambient temperature will have slightly varying results.""
