Lack of reliable grid power in rural areas requires these systems to be powered using distributed renewable energy sources such as solar panels. Due to high energy consumption, a large number of solar panels are needed, which further increases the cost.

The typical cost of a solar-powered cold room with a storage capacity of 5 MT of fruits and
