Solar Cold Storage in UP
Cut Chilling Electricity Costs by 80%
Protect perishable crops (potatoes, vegetables, fruits, flowers) and dairy products with solar-driven mini cold rooms (5 MT to 500 MT). Equipped with 24-36 hour Thermal Phase-Change (PCM) storage to maintain 2°C to 8°C even during complete blackouts.
Ideal for Farmers, FPOs, Mandi Traders, and Dairy Processors across Uttar Pradesh
Stores cooling energy during peak daytime solar hours and slowly releases it overnight, avoiding recurring battery degradation expenses.
Eligible for capital subsidy under MIDH, NHB, and Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture schemes in Uttar Pradesh.
Store harvest during peak supply glut and sell when mandi rates double or triple, unlocking massive seasonal returns.
Seamlessly synchronizes with existing diesel generators or grid connections during prolonged winter fog or monsoon rains.

Solar Cold Storage FAQs
How does Thermal Energy Storage (PCM) work without batteries?
Phase Change Material (PCM) panels freeze during sunlight hours when solar electricity runs the refrigeration unit. At night, as the compressor rests, the PCM slowly melts and absorbs heat, maintaining low temperature (2°C-8°C) for up to 36 hours without costly battery packs.
What government subsidies are available for mini cold storage in UP?
Under the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and National Horticulture Board (NHB), farmers, cooperatives, and FPOs can get a 35% capital subsidy (and up to 50% in special category districts) on cold room capital expenses.
What is the capacity range for on-farm solar cold rooms?
We install customized mini cold storages starting from 5 MT (approx 1,000 cu.ft) up to 500 MT multi-chamber commercial cold storage complexes with high-density polyurethane (PUF) insulation.
Can we connect solar to our existing cold storage facility?
Yes. If you already have a commercial cold storage running on grid power and diesel generators, we retrofit high-efficiency rooftop solar arrays with DG-synchronization to slash your operating costs by 60-80%.
