A solar refrigerator is a fridge that operates utilizing solar energy from photovoltaic cells (also known as solar panels) – as opposed to electrical energy from a power grid. Solar panels absorb energy from the Sun and store it in a battery, which our solar fridges utilize for power.
Aside from their energy source, solar fridges operate identically to standard refrigerators. Both use a vapor-compression system for cooling. This system consists of a refrigerant gas being compressed, condensed into a liquid, and then vaporized. This vaporization absorbs heat, causing a refrigerator’s coils to cool, which cools the inside of the fridge.
At Warehouse Appliance, we offer some of the best solar-powered fridges and freezers on the market. Our large-capacity, solar-powered, super-efficient appliances include 4.5 inches of polyurethane insulation. Some of the features of the solar refrigerators we offer include a full range thermostat for refrigerating or freezing, 12 or 24-volt self-sensing input voltage, a drain hole, a coated steel interior, double gasket seals for low frost build-up, and a cooling fan for faster cool-down times and longer compressor life. These factors and more make our solar-powered fridges a perfect off-grid appliance for your lifestyle.
In general, a solar refrigerator is not always a DC refrigerator. The term “DC” refers to a type of electrical current. There are two types of electrical currents: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Both forms can be used by refrigerators. However, solar panels generate DC electricity, so it is usually more convenient and energy efficient for solar refrigerators to operate on DC power – instead of AC. Overall, DC refrigerators and solar refrigerators are not the same thing, primarily because “DC” and “solar” refer to different aspects of energy.
At Warehouse Appliance, our SunStar solar-powered fridges are also DC fridges. They utilize DC electricity to operate, which comes from solar panels. However, we also offer an adapter, which can allow SunStar fridges and freezers to run on AC electricity.
At Warehouse Appliance, we are a leading supplier of alternatively powered appliances, such as our off grid refrigerators, freezers, and more. By working with us, you can experience the following benefits:
