Defy launches solar off-grid fridge that prevents food spoilage caused by blackouts

Defy has launched a new solar off-grid fridge and freezer developed for the local market to address challenges related to load shedding. Built at its Ladysmith factory in KwaZulu-Natal, these first-to-market appliances come with a smart control box, but customers need to purchase solar panels and a battery separately or connect it to their existing home solar system.

Defy says the solar off-grid range should run for up to three days through its smart control box and built-in power management system. The fridge is not an internet of things device though, and cannot be paired with a smartphone app. The company recommends a 550W panel for inland areas and a 700W panel for coastal regions, paired with a 200Ah battery.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
