Solar Cooling with a solar fridge & freezer

What is a Solar Fridge and Freezer?

A standard fridge and freezer runs on AC Voltage and needs approximately 1200 Wh of energy/day. To run such a device with solar power, you will need a strong AC inverter, about 450 Wp of solar panels and a battery set with 500 Ah. Thus, it is not economical to run a standard fridge/freezer with solar energy.

Solar fridges and freezers on the other hand run on DC voltage (12/24 V) with a brushless compressor. No inverter is needed, and the refrigerator consumes only 150 Wh of energy per day. The required solar system is small, comprising of a 70 Wp Solar Panel and a 70 Ah Battery. On the whole, the solar fridge and freezer minimises the customer’s total system cost.
