Cooling From Power Of Sun

These days one finds it rather difficult to have a refrigerator at home or work place. After all it is important to keep eatables and other perishable stuff cool to avoid spoilage; that is why we are so dependant on refrigerators. But think of areas/cities/countries where there is acute shortage of electricity, or there is no electricity at all. The idea of having a conventional fridge gets killed instantly as it would require ample amount of power to run. This is where PV DC Solar Fridges come handy. They draw power from the sun and work just like conventional refrigerators.

How it works?

A PV DC Solar Fridge ideally requires three crucial components for it to run. Firstly, solar panels draw power of sun and send out DC current to the batteries. The batteries are regulated by solar charge controllers that make sure that proper power goes to it and there is no overcharging. So, typically a DC Solar Fridge works using a combination of solar panels and lead batteries to store energy for overcast conditions and at night or wee hours.

The fridge itself comprises of two major parts the compressor and body. Just like conventional refrigerators, solar powered fridges are very energy efficient and not too noisy. The compressor should also be optimized for cooling to maximum with least power consumption. However, a compressor would be considered useless without the other critical component of the fridge the insulated body! The body of the fridge should have a good insulation from inside as the endurance of cooling depends on it. A good quality solar fridge normally has a polyurethane insulation and coated steel cabinets. A solar powered DC fridge also has a cooling fan to dissipate the heat generated by the compressor and maintain uniform cooling inside the fridge.


Choosing the right PV DC Solar Fridge

You will find DC Solar Fridges in different sizes and prices based on their features, voltage consumption and backups. Know all the features and gather all the necessary information about its functionalities before buying and installing a PV DC Solar Fridge.
