Promethean Power Systems is developing a solar-powered refrigeration system for commercial cold-storage applications in off-grid and partially electrified areas of developing countries. Our revolutionary refrigeration technology will enable food suppliers to store and preserve perishable food items—such as milk, fruits and vegetables—without the need for expensive diesel-powered generators.
Promethean Power Systems is a for-profit enterprise. We believe that creating a cost-effective solution for cold-chain food distribution is an excellent business opportunity that could also deliver social and environmental benefits.
