reliable, climate-friendly vaccine and food refrigeration technologies

SolarChill combines environmentally friendly refrigeration with solar direct drive technology for off-grid cooling applications. It provides a more reliable, safer and cleaner form of refrigeration than kerosene refrigerators. Solar energy is stored in ice instead of lead batteries. SolarChill refrigerators do not use any ozone depleting or potent global warming substances.
