Design Development and Fabrication of Foldable Solar Plant

Present day cars have an air conditioning system to keep the car interior cool as per requirements of occupant, but during the hot seasons is needed to have a water or beverage cooler in the car. Presently no such system is installed in the car. The systems that use conventional. The Foldable solar panel –portable thermo-electric cooler is a concept that solves the above problem by using solar power. The portable thermoelectric cooler is a innovative system that utilizes Peltier effect for the thermoelectric cooler. This thermoelectric cooler is run on 12 volt DC power hence can be operated in dual mode i.e. , using solar power during day time whereas 12 V DC power from vehicle battery using cigarette lighter socket. This system is fully automatic i.e., it actuates when the equipment to be cooled i.e., can is placed in the thermoelectric cooler. Thus the device provides refrigeration effect in minimal space using solar.
