Side Note :
We recently ordered a DCR225 refrigerator for our showroom. It
arrived nicely crated with no dings or dents. Having only pictured this product
in a brochure, we were was amazed at how nicely constructed and how large this
unit was. After a simple unpacking, the unit was carried into our showroom.
After a two hour wait to make sure that the
compressor oil had settled, we attached a 10 amp fuse and ring terminals to the
power cables and then attached the unit to a 12 volt battery that was being
charged by a 80 watt solar module.
The unit made a faint whirring sound which let
us know that it was running. We walked away and began locking up for the day.
Even though the instructions said that we should wait approximately 2 hours
before loading it up with food, I decided to take a peek after only an hour. To
my amazement the inside of this fridge felt like a freezer !
I hurried over to our service department and
told our senior technician that he had to see this thing to believe it. He
opened the fridge door and placed his hand against the side wall and could not
believe it either.
We became concerned that SunDanzer had shipped
us a freezer instead of a fridge so we went back to our loading area to look for
the packing slip and discovered that there was no mistake, the unit was what we
ordered, a refrigerator not a freezer. We decided that we should adjust the
thermostat, so that we didn't wind up freezing the sodas that we had placed in
our new fridge.
If you happen to be in the area, be sure to
stop by and share an ice cold one (soda that is !) with us from this amazing
machine, you wont believe it either. All from a single 80 watt solar panel !
Need refrigeration and don't want to
mess with an inverter or batteries !!
Then the BFR series refrigerator is just
what the doctor ordered !

offers a revolutionary design for true "plug and play" operation eliminating the
need for batteries and charge controllers. During cloudy weather, internal
thermal storage keeps products cold for up to 7 days.
The BFR Series is designed for use in locations with at least 5 sun-hours per
day. The highly efficient system, developed at NASA, uses a variable speed
compressor and peak power tracking. For areas with less than 5 sun-hours per
day, the DC Series is recommended.
