Why is energy storage important for SRSS?

It is understood from review literature that energy storage is a vital element for SRSs to take advantage of solar energy and align cooling demand with solar availability. CTESS-integrated refrigeration system reduces operating costs, increases cooling availability, and improves overall performance.

What is solar cold storage?

Solar cold storage usually relies on continuous energy input or battery-based backup systems to supply constant energy for night-time and cloudy weather conditions . Solar intermittency and variability have increased the demand for adequate energy storage.

Can solar energy be integrated into modular cold storage systems?

Recent innovations in renewable energy technology, energy storage systems, and smart energy management have paved the way for the integration of advanced solar, wind, and thermal energy into modular cold storage systems designed specifically for rural applications (Alam et al., 2022).
