It works on the principle of utilizing renewable solar power to operate refrigeration systems, reducing the dependency on conventional electrical energy. This system can be operated either through solar thermal energy or solar photovoltaic energy. Solar refrigeration methods such as Solar Electric Method, Solar Mechanical Method and Solar Thermal Methods have been discussed. This technology helps save. . Abstract- The objective is to develop a solar powered refrigerator using peltier effect and some refrigerating materials. This project emphasizes on the use of refrigerating materials. . Solar panels sit atop buildings, homes and tents and power cell-phone chargers, radios and the International Space Station (ISS). When sunlight strikes a PV cell, it heats the cell up.

At their core, energy storage refrigerators combine traditional refrigeration with thermal battery technology. During off-peak hours (or sunny days if solar-powered), it stores excess cooling energy. . In this paper, a review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for utilizing solar energy for refrigeration purposes. Solar refrigeration methods such as Solar Electric Method, Solar Mechanical Method and Solar Thermal Methods have been discussed.
