REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER FAQs

Our HELIOS Refrigerators and Freezers can be transported anywhere in the world via road, rail, and sea. Once on-site, the solar panels can be deployed by a single person within 15 mins. There are no special tools or training required to operate, set up, and/or tear down the unit. Each HELIOS Refrigerator unit features a broad operating temperature range of +35°F to +55°F (+2°C to +15°C), making it an ideal option for warmer climates. Energy usage patterns of your solar-powered refrigerator/freezer are logged and analyzed 24/7, giving your team the ability to report your savings and contributions up the line in real-time.

Energy consumption is considered the largest source of human-caused greenhouse gas production and the cold chain is the 3rd largest consumer of power in the world. Therefore, choosing an industrial solar-powered refrigerator or freezer means you are immediately reducing your carbon emissions and making a significant reduction to your environmental footprint.

There are significant cost savings by choosing our HELIOS refrigerators and freezers over a diesel alternative, and an increasing number of organizations are seeking more environmentally friendly powered solutions for their cold chain needs.

Our HELIOS Refrigerator & Freezer options are designed to be used across a range of industries including mining, logistics, defense, government, agriculture, aquaculture, and commercial organizations. 

They can also be used by first responders seeking low-maintenance, emergency preservation solutions, aid and development agencies looking for long-term, cost-effective cold chain options that can be rapidly deployed, as well as event organizers seeking a practical, economical, and environmentally friendly refrigeration alternative to traditional grid power.
