November 21, 2024 – We’re thrilled to announce that Solar Run Energy’s innovative Solar DC Refrigeration System has been awarded the Second Prize in the UNIDO Director General’s Award in the Distribution/Delivery category. This prestigious recognition highlights Solar Run’s impact on tackling food waste, hunger, and energy scarcity in off-grid areas around the world.
The award-winning Solar DC Refrigeration System was developed to address a massive global challenge: food loss due to a lack of effective refrigeration. With over 526 million tons of food wasted in a year in off-grid areas, Solar Run’s solution is a game-changer for rural communities, helping them store food longer, reduce waste, and improve food security.
What Makes the Solar DC Refrigeration System Unique?
Solar Run’s Solar DC Refrigeration System is designed specifically for communities with limited access to electricity. Key features include:
– Solar-Powered Operation: Functions entirely on solar energy by day and shifts to a built-in battery at night, ensuring uninterrupted cooling without relying on conventional power.
– Advanced Insulation: Even without power, it maintains 0°C for over 24 hours, making it perfect for regions with frequent power interruptions.
– Adjustable Temperature Range: Covers 15°C to -30°C, allowing for versatile storage of various foods and medicines.
– PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) Integration: Offers affordable, incremental payment options to increase accessibility in low-income communities.
With over 3,200 units sold, Solar Run’s refrigerators help prevent 16,000 tons of food waste and cut 640 tons of CO₂emissions every year, directly contributing to a more sustainable and resilient global food system.
