The ways portable off-grid storage is changing the world

In North America we have the benefit of running water, refrigerators being a standard appliance in the household, and the ability to shop from the frozen food section of the supermarket. This is not a luxury that everybody in the world shares. Unfortunately, there are places on the globe where fresh water is scarce, energy is too expensive to harness long term, and food must be hunted and picked, not bought.

At Aldelano, we strive to make a difference in the world. We want to give back to communities where they need it most. Off-grid cold storage might not be the only answer, but it certainly has the possibility to go a long way toward redefining the way that some communities eat.

Off-Grid Cold Storage Anywhere You Need It

Cold storage has been available since sometime around 1750. At this time ice was used to cool and freeze food for later use. Since refrigerated containers moved away from ice and began using electricity to function, they have become something of a stationary tool. While you can move a freezer from one building to another, they generally require some form of power source.

At Aldelano, that source is the sun, which means that our devices can go anywhere in the world. This portable off-grid cold storage provides communities with no electricity the option to chill food, refrigerate medical supplies, and keep crops fresh until they can be used.

Fresh Water For All

Another way that our cold storage is changing the world is through the addition of our solar powered water generators. These machines are able to create up to 50 gallons of fresh drinking water per day by collecting moisture that is already available in the air and filtering it into a contained space.

Just as refrigerated food isn’t available everywhere, water is scarce in some countries. Having the ability to create water, literally out of thin air, means that families who go thirsty or are drinking water filled with bacteria, can finally receive the life-giving liquid they so desperately need.

Changes Everywhere

It isn’t only poor communities where electricity isn’t available and off-grid cold storage is helping to change the world. From family homes to shipping corporations, these modern containment units are creating a sustainable way to cool, freeze, and produce water.

There may not always be batteries to charge, or electricity to plug into, but there will always be a sun, and that’s where we come in.
