In India, one of the main reasons for the financial struggles of farmers is the shortage of proper cold chain facilities, which leads to heavy post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables. To overcome this, there is a growing need to build more cold storage systems across the country. However, traditional cold storages are expensive to install and operate, making it difficult for most farmers to afford them. A practical way to cut down on operating costs is by using solar-powered cold storages instead of relying entirely on grid electricity. This paper looks into different solar energy systems that can be used to power such cold storage units.
