Cooling with the sun: Empowering off-grid communities in developing countries with solar-powered cold storage systems
Approximately 760 million people worldwide live without access to electricity, most of them in developing countries, where they also face challenges related to food insecurity and lack of adequate storage for medicines and vaccines. Solar PV off-grid cold storage systems can assist in mitigating those issues as well as bring sustainable development and economic growth to low-income populations, mainly in rural regions. This research presents technologies that provide solar off-grid cold storage to houses, health centers, retail shops (off-grid refrigerators), and small farms or street markets (off-grid cold rooms). At the same time, it can provide electricity access by powering other small electric loads (lamps, phone charges) by using its surplus of electricity generation, addressing several of the United Nations' sustainable development goals simultaneously. The manuscript assesses affordable business models and identifies key challenges and opportunities for deploying Solar PV off-grid cold storage systems, providing a comprehensive guide for policymakers, investors, and stakeholders involved in sustainable development and off-grid electrification in developing countries.
期刊介绍：
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers.
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
