We shipped a 20ft solar container cold room to an Andalusia fruit export trader in Southern Spain. The client uses the solar cold room to store fresh oranges, avocados, and frozen meat before port shipment. The integrated solar powered cold room cuts 90% monthly electricity cost and shortens the on-site installation time.
The customer is a mid-sized fresh produce exporter in southern Spain (Andalusia), specializing in oranges, avocados, and chilled/frozen meat for European markets. Their main challenges included:
Cold room energy consumption spikes during hot months.
No fixed power infrastructure at the temporary storage site.
Electricity prices vary greatly, making cold storage expensive.
They needed a fast-deploy, off-grid solar cold storage solution that could work immediately after arrival at the dock.
