The Solar Vaccine Cooler is a smart cooler that efficiently refrigerates vaccines using the
power of the sun.
Unfortunate Fact: Vaccines are very delicate, and they spoil easily.
Even though vaccines are inexpensive and plentiful, they must be refrigerated.
Since typical refrigerators are costly and bulky power guzzlers that require constant electricity,
billions of people around the world are not vaccinated because they lack access to electricity or a stable electric
grid
necessary to store and administer vaccines.
Between 2010 and 2018, over 20 million children in rural villages could not receive the measles vaccine because of
this “Last Mile” problem.
That’s where the SVCooler comes in. Powered by solar panels, the SVCooler uses a
smart temperature control algorithm to maximize efficiency and keep vaccines frosty even without
connection to power.
At SVCooler, our mission is threefold:
1. Develop a low cost, solar-powered vaccine refrigerator that uses a smart algorithm to keep
vaccines and other medicine refrigerated;
2. Deploy and field test in the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Rwanda, etc; and
3. Raise donations to buy vaccines for 100,000 children in need.
