PCM pack storage9 L

Ships complete as a kit. Program and quantity pricing on request.

Phase-change cold storage

Eliminates cold spots and holds vaccines at the right temperature.

LiFePO4 battery

More than 3,000 cycles and a minimum 10-year service life, with battery monitoring and load control.

Rated for low sun

Sized for just 2.0 kWh/m²/day of sun, well below the 3.5 commonly used, so a 310 Wp kit is enough. The panels go on a normal roof or ground mount, with no east-west array or pole mount. On rainy days it keeps vaccines cold for 136 hours.

Auxiliary loads

2 USB and 4 barrel ports for lights and phone charging (optional on some models).

Configurable kit

Ships with battery, panels and mounting. Swap in your own components if your program requires it.

Warranty: 2-year replacement parts warranty and a 7-year limited prorated warranty on the LiFePO4 battery. Replacement parts only; freight, duties, installation and field labour are not included.

One unit, two jobs

Store vaccines and run outreach without a separate freezer.

  1. Store

    27 L of vaccines kept at +2 to +8 °C, with 81 hours of holdover at +43 °C.

  2. Charge PCM packs

    The pack compartment freezes PCM packs at 4 °C: two full sets for the 4 L carriers (9 L).

  3. Go on outreach

    Load the packs into the 4 L carriers included in the kit and take vaccines to the community.
