Keep the harvest fresh long enough to sell it right.

Off-grid, solar-powered cold storage that cuts post-harvest losses by up to 80% — built for smallholder farmers across Kenya.

Overview

Preserve the produce, control the market timing.

Solar-powered cold storage built for smallholder farmers, agro-processors, and food vendors who need reliable, off-grid cold chain access.

Running on sunlight keeps fruit and vegetables crisp while cutting the carbon footprint of cold storage. No rushing to sell at a distressed price the day of harvest — wait for a better rate.

The system is modular and scalable, preserving produce for up to 15 days, deployable in rural and urban locations alike.

Why this system

Built with the realities of a farm in mind.

Solar powered

Runs entirely on renewable energy — no grid connection required, suited to remote locations with unreliable electricity.

Modular design

Scalable from small farm units to large commercial systems — start with what's needed and expand as the business grows.

15-day preservation

Extends shelf life significantly, enough to wait for a better market price instead of selling at a loss on harvest day.

Off-grid ready

High-capacity battery backup keeps cooling running for 24–48 hours through cloudy days or overnight.

Remote monitoring

A mobile app with real-time temperature alerts and system status, checkable from anywhere.

Quick installation

Full setup in 2–5 days with minimal site preparation, including farmer training and 2-year support.

Simple technology

How solar cold storage works.

01

Solar generation

Monocrystalline panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity.

02

Battery storage

High-capacity batteries store surplus energy for uninterrupted operation.

03

Cooling system

Efficient compressors hold temperature between 2°C and 15°C.

04

Fresh produce

Fruits and vegetables stay market-ready for up to 15 days.
