By combining cold storage approaches with TES systems, such as low-cost PCM, cooling efficiency can be enhanced, allowing the solar off-grid cold storage to keep its stored food refrigerated even at night time. This reduces the use of expensive and short-life batteries or even eliminates their need.
The development of autonomous solar PV off-grid home systems, also known as solar home systems (SHS), and mini-grids are promising solutions to tackle the low access rates of off-grid appliances in remote locations in developing countries [, , , , ].
The most significant growth in off-grid solar power occurred in the last decade, benefitting from a considerable drop in equipment costs, namely solar electric systems. According to the World Bank , 490.0 million people benefited from using off-grid systems to power their homes and businesses at the end of 2021.
Off-grid cold storage systems powered by solar PV can be implemented to help smallholder farmers, allowing their products to remain in good condition for consumption for a longer time. Sellers in marketplaces can also benefit from this approach by having a place to keep their agricultural products fresher throughout the day and during more days.
