A pharmacy that loses its fridge loses its insulin, its vaccines and its reputation. A 255-litre solar fridge with its own power station holds +2 to +8 °C with no grid at all, for about US$1,586 — and it charges lights and phones on the side.

What's in the kit
An upright 255-litre fridge, an FBE 2 kW solar power station with lithium battery, and panels sized for a full day's charge. Set up at the pharmacy without an installation crew. Where grid exists, the power station charges from the mains too.
For regulated storage
Vaccines and biologics need a record. Ask for the logging and alarm option: readings every few minutes, alerts to the pharmacist's phone, exportable reports for inspectors.
For a network
Pharmacy chains take units per branch and a solar cold room with battery backup at the warehouse — one contract, one monthly report. Distributors who serve clinics are recruited through the partner page.

Talk to Frontières BayFrequently asked
How long does it hold if there is no sun?
A full night on battery; several hours beyond that on the fridge's own insulation; mains charging bridges longer gaps where grid exists.
Can it run a second fridge?
The 2 kW station can run additional small loads; for two fridges ask about the 2.4–5.3 kW range.
