To overcome the challenges of crop spoilage and high operating costs, solar cold storage are the most effective solution today. Crop spoilage in farms is a major obstacle that India faces. Erratic supply of electricity causes electricity-powered cold storages to remain inactive and storage conditions inside to not remain in the optimal range. On the other hand, diesel generator-driven storage units come with challenges of their own. To overcome these odds and prevent losses, solar-powered cold storages are the most effective solution today. Challenges that solar storage addresses Annually, 30 per cent crops, on an average, perish in India due to lack of proper cold storage facilities. Ram Bheke, business development manager, Promethean Power Systems, an India-based cold storage solution provider, says, “Traditional cold storages are associated with high operating costs. For instance, running a complete storage system on diesel has huge expenses associated wit...
