A solar-powered pay-as-you-go technology that enables affordable and reliable access to cooling
In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are over 700 million people who do not have access to electricity and therefore lack access to refrigeration. This leads to food and vaccine wastage. Using the power of the sun and water, Koolboks created an affordable off-grid solution that is able to generate continuous refrigeration for up to 4 days, even in the absence of power and limited sunlight by storing energy in the form of ice, rather than in batteries. This technology brings down the cost of owning an off-grid solar refrigerator by close to 40%. Moreover, PAYGO technology is integrated in the freezers. This made them even more affordable and enables customers to pay in monthly, weekly, or daily instalments. Thanks to Koolboks, now individuals, pharmacies, or healthcare facilities can pay as low as 30$ to own a solar off-grid refrigerator.
