This technology is a vapor compression solar refrigeration system that operates without batteries. The solar-powered refrigerator uses a variable speed direct current (DC) vapor compression cooling system. Electronic controls directly connect the refrigerators solar photovoltaic (PV) panel to its compressor. A well-insulated cabinet, generous thermal storage capability, high efficiency cooling system, and PV panel are all significant elements of this system, providing a year-round cool environment. The purpose of this invention is to provide a practical new refrigeration system using abundant solar power, independent of electric grid or battery, thereby reducing weight and lowering transportation and maintenance cost.
