Solar Fridge Guide: Stay Cool Off The Grid

Image
A solar fridge has many advantages over its conventional counterpart. Unlike conventional refrigerators, which run on electric that is likely generated by burning fossil fuels, a solar fridge runs on energy provided directly by the sun. A solar fridge is also the best sort of cooler for off-the-grid locations where AC power is not available and no conventional fridges dare to tread. They can keep food preserved without the need for utility-provided power, a major advantage in undeveloped areas where electricity availability is intermittent and unreliable. Different Types of Solar Fridges Lead battery solar fridge The earliest modern solar-powered refrigerators and vaccine coolers (which were critical for disaster relief groups who worked far from any electrical grids) used a combination of solar panels and lead batteries, which stored energy for cloudy days and at night in the absence of sunlight to keep their contents cool. Such fridge required heavy lead-acid batter...

In the other three season of the year, we’re often asked how exactly is it that these stoves can cook so effectively, even in the cold. To answer this and other questions, we’ve created a handy FAQ. But first, a general overview. All-season solar cookers can work just fine in the winter, but it takes some ingenuity to achieve the same results as summer. As long as you have clear, bright sunshine, then you can make it work; in fact, some winter days can be bright than summer days.
