This manual is designed to provide a step-by-step guide to building solar-powered cold rooms that can be fully assembled locally in Nigeria, providing a sustainable, energy-efficient solution for food preservation in rural areas without reliable electricity.

đź’ˇ The construction manual covers:

  • The assembly of solar-powered walk-in cold rooms
  • Technical specifications of all components & installation instructions
  • Materials lists and recommended tools

Through this initiative, we aim to inspire farmers, technicians, engineers, and entrepreneurs to embrace local, sustainable cooling solutions and improve access to refrigeration across agricultural value chains.

The creation of this manual has been kindly funded by the Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund, managed by Energy Saving Trust and supported by UK aid from the UK government via the Transforming Energy Access platform, and the IKEA Foundation.
