http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/outstanding_young_person_of_the_world_award_winners_amazing_solar-powered_fridge_17718.asp In Spain we call it Botijo... There is nothing new under the sun. (Pun intended) -- 88.12.103.28 ( talk) 19:35, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm the president of a company that builds solar refrigerators. I think the rational discussion is not accurate. I've never edited a Wikipedia. It is permitted/normal to deleted sentences? DavidBergeron3 ( talk) 06:43, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Yes, it is normal to do it, just remember to add some sentences about it in "edit summary"
While adding citations, it was noticed that the Rationale Section was lifted directly from: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/solar-refrigeration/
This comes in direct violation of the copyright rules of wikipedia. However, I suggest not to delete it for copyright violation but to rewrite it and paraphrase it.

Pot-in-pot deals with using an evaporative cooling system that loses coolant in evaporation, to cool. Whereas a standard refrigerator, the evaporant is enclosed in a closed system, and recondensed to be evaporated again. There are systems that instead of using electricity to energize this system, use heat instead, absorption refrigerators (such as Einstein fridges). This article should also cover using solar heating in a non-evaporative process. (such as heat output from a solar heater, or a solar concentrator) -- 67.70.35.44 ( talk) 22:16, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
The discussion of refrigerants/foaming agents belongs in a separate article. Solar refrigerators and non-solar refrigerators use the same refrigerants and blowing agents so solar refrigerators do nothing to address that issue and the article seems to imply that they do. The entire paragraph on "Rational" needs to be rewritten. DavidTucson ( talk) 00:28, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

In the Technology section, add a new paragraph with the statement "In 2019, American company GoSun introduced a solar-powered portable refrigerator utilizing a brushless compressor, a lithium battery and solar panels, which allow food and drinks to be kept cold without ice, while also being able to charge the user's devices" (refs provided in the collapsible section below). This is to illustrate a new concept developed for solar-powered refrigerators (charging devices while refrigerating).

Solar powered refrigerators are characterized by thick insulation and the use of a DC (not AC) compressor. Traditionally solar-powered refrigerators and vaccine coolers use a combination of solar panels and lead batteries to store energy for cloudy days and at night in the absence of sunlight to keep their contents cool. These fridges are expensive and require heavy lead-acid batteries which tend to deteriorate, especially in hot climates, or are misused for other purposes. [1] [2] In addition, the batteries require maintenance, [3] must be replaced approximately every three years, and must be disposed of as hazardous wastes possibly resulting in lead pollution. [1] These problems and the resulting higher costs have been an obstacle for the use of solar powered refrigerators in developing areas. [4] [2] In the mid-1990s NASA JSC began work on a solar powered refrigerator that used phase change material rather than battery to store thermal energy rather than chemical energy. [5] The resulting technology has been commercialized and is being used for storing food products and vaccines. Solar direct-drive refrigerators don't require batteries, instead using thermal energy to solar power. These refrigerators are increasingly being used to store vaccines in remote areas. [6] In 2019, American company GoSun introduced a solar-powered portable refrigerator utilizing a brushless compressor, a lithium battery and solar panels, which allow food and drinks to be kept cold without ice while also being able to charge the user's devices.
