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.

About the Company

Ecotutu Limited, founded in 2020 in Lagos, Nigeria, is a cleantech company dedicated to providing sustainable, off-grid cold storage solutions in agriculture, food distribution, and healthcare sectors. Their solar-powered cold rooms, mobile hubs, cooler bags, and phase-change ice cells combat post-harvest losses and support last-mile refrigeration in rural and urban communities lacking reliable electricity. Ecotutu’s “pay-as-you-chill” model democratizes access by enabling flexible payments for storage, empowering farmers, food vendors, and healthcare providers. Their technology harnesses solar power combined with thermal energy storage, ensuring up to three days of cooling during cloudy periods—effectively decoupling cold chain resilience from grid dependency. By preserving perishable goods and reducing food waste, Ecotutu strengthens food security, enhances livelihoods, and supports environmental sustainability. The company has deployed a 20-ton solar-powered hub in Lagos’s Mile 12 Market and serves both agribusiness and pharmaceutical clients, positioning itself as a leading clean-energy utility innovator in Nigeria and emerging markets.
