Product description
Ecotutu’s Solar-Powered Cold Storage Hub is a cutting-edge solution designed to tackle the challenge of inadequate cold storage facilities in rural and peri-urban areas with unreliable power infrastructure. By harnessing the power of solar photovoltaic panels and innovative phase-change material (PCM) technology, this modular facility offers a sustainable and efficient way to store temperature-sensitive items such as fruits, vegetables, fish, vaccines, and more.
The key innovation lies in the integration of thermal storage capabilities with intelligent IoT controls, ensuring that optimal temperatures are maintained even during overcast weather conditions. This not only extends the shelf life of perishable goods but also reduces post-harvest losses, ultimately promoting operational sustainability and economic resilience.
Clients have the flexibility to access storage space through a 'pay-as-you-chill' pricing model, with options ranging from open-market stalls to pharmaceutical clinics. Each installation includes comprehensive project planning, deployment, and user training, making it easy for businesses to adopt this eco-friendly solution.
Scalable from single containers to larger 20-ton capacity systems, the Solar-Powered Cold Storage Hub emphasizes durability and low maintenance, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses of all sizes. By providing decentralized and inclusive cold storage solutions, Ecotutu not only supports agribusinesses and healthcare initiatives but also improves market access and contributes to environmental sustainability.
