Abstract

The solar energy provides wide range of flexibility in nature. In this study experimental investigation was performed on a solar powered refrigerator in which the 2 Peltier module was used to provide cooling to the system. The study was carried for the climatic condition of Dehradun at Graphic Era to be Deemed University. The setup was operated by solar energy during day time and at night an extra battery is provided to lower the temperature of the system. After operating the setup for 22min and 6sec the system temperature drops from 30.9˚C to 16.9˚C, with battery pack of 84W the system can continuously operates for 3.18hr.

Key words: Solar Energy, Solar Powered Refrigerator, Compressor less, Peltier Module, Thermoelectric Cooling.
