Solar Cold Room - Sustainable Cold Storage Solution
Innovation for Agriculture
Ice Make's industry leadership in Commercial & Industrial Refrigeration has driven innovation of solar-powered Cold Storage solutions for horticulture and floriculture sectors, addressing storage quality and waste reduction needs.
Agricultural Challenge
Horticultural produce requires 0°C to 15°C storage temperatures. Without cold storage access, farmers must sell immediately, creating oversupply and reduced returns.
Solar Solution
Solar-powered systems are ideal for rural areas with limited power infrastructure. India's abundant sunlight provides reliable energy for 24-hour cold storage operation without door openings.
Hybrid Technology
The Solar Cold Room operates year-round using solar power as primary source, seamlessly switching to Electric Power or DG Power when sunlight is unavailable.
