Chidi is a frozen food wholesaler in Lagos, Nigeria, specializing in frozen chicken and fish. Due to unstable power supply and high generator fuel costs, he needed a more reliable and energy-saving cold storage solution. In early 2025, while searching for a Solar Powered Cold Storage in Nigeria on Alibaba International, he discovered Henan Foodline Machinery Company.
Chidi’s solar cold room was installed in May 2025. Thanks to 24/7 operation, his daily handling capacity increased by 40%, and his customer base expanded to three surrounding states. Adding up monthly fuel savings, reduced spoilage, and extra profit from expanded business, he now earns about ₦400,000 more per month. He recovered the extra investment of the solar system in less than 8 months.
“The cold room works very well even during the hot season in Nigeria. Temperature remains stable, and the fish quality stays excellent. We reduced losses and improved delivery efficiency. Foodline provided professional support throughout the project. This investment helped our business grow much faster.”
Excellent Thermal Insulation The 120 mm polyurethane panels provide strong insulation performance. They reduce cooling loss and help save electricity costs.
Stable Refrigeration System The cold room uses reliable refrigeration components and famous compressor brands. The system maintains stable temperatures even in hot climates.
Durable Steel Surface Galvanized steel panels resist corrosion and perform well in humid environments.
Lower Operating Costs Good insulation and efficient refrigeration help reduce electricity consumption and daily operating expenses.
Suitable for African Climate Our cold rooms are widely used in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and other African countries.
Yes. Our standard configuration is 220V/50Hz/1ph, and the solar inverter provides voltage regulation. Even when the grid fluctuates, the cold room runs normally.
Is solar power enough? What about cloudy days?
We size the solar array and battery capacity based on your local sunshine hours and cold room power consumption. Typically, the battery can run the unit for 1-2 cloudy days.
Will cooling performance drop in high temperatures?
No. Our condensing unit and air cooler are optimized for hot climates. In actual tests at 40℃ ambient, the empty cold room reaches -18℃ within 30 minutes.
What about after-sales service?
The whole unit has a 1-year warranty, and core components like the compressor and inverter have international warranties. We provide remote video suppor.
Foodline has supplied cold rooms to customers across Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East.
