Koolhome is a solar-powered, pay-as-you-go cooling system that makes cooling cheap and reliable.
Over 700 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa don’t have access to electricity, which means they can’t keep food cold. This causes food and vaccines to go to waste. Using the power of the sun and water, Koolboks made an affordable off-grid solution that can keep food cool for up to 4 days even when there is no power and only a small amount of sunlight. It does this by storing energy in the form of ice, rather than in batteries, so that it can be used even when there is no power and only a small amount of sunlight. With this technology, the price of an off-grid solar refrigerator drops by about 40%. The freezers also have PAYGO technology built in. This made them even cheaper and lets people pay for them in monthly, weekly, or daily payments. Thanks to Koolboks, people, pharmacies, or health care facilities can now buy a solar off-grid refrigerator for as little as $30.
