Soon, youll need lots of sunlight to keep your beer cold

Solar-powered refrigerator wins environmental award.

SolarChill refrigerators don't need batteries or a connection to the electrical grid - they store power in three 60W voltaic panels. They do however have an AC/DC converter, which provides flexibility to use wind, hydropower, bio-gas or grid energy (and even a car battery!) when there is not enough sun. The coolers are also energy efficient because they have excellent insulation. They don't contribute to global warming thanks to the special hydrocarbon system made by our friends at DTI and their partners.
