Solar-powered refrigerator

This article is about standard vapor compression refrigerators which use solar power. For evaporative devices, see pot-in-pot refrigerator.

A solar-powered refrigerator is a refrigerator which runs on energy directly provided by sun, and may include photovoltaic or solar thermal energy.

Solar-powered refrigerators are able to keep perishable goods such as meat and dairy cool in hot climates and are used to keep vaccines at their appropriate temperature to avoid spoilage.

Solar-powered refrigerators are typically used in off-the-grid locations where utility-provided AC power is not available.
