Idea

In the efforts to reduce post harvest loss ,Soler cool ( trading as solerchil in Africa) uses high level Artificial Intelligence Technology to turn the sun into the power of refrigeration which then is rented to farmers all over the world to preserve their food after harvest

Current Status

We have managed to improve our customer base from 165000 women in 2016 to 500000 customers in 2019.We have also increased our revenue to 1.8 Million per Year in 2019

Market

Our Major Target are female farmers in Africa and other Parts of the World and by 2040 we intend to reach more than 300 Million farmers with our services .

Problem or Opportunity

30% of the food produced globally is never consumed but rather out to waste. This worse in developing countries where almost 50% the food produced is never consumed .This is because most of farmers lack safe and secure means to preserve their food.

Solution (product or service)

Soler cool has come up with a revolutionary technology (caged into a container or Kiosk ).Our Artificial Intelligence Technology turns the sun into a cold air that is then circulated all over the Kiosk to offer cooling. With our technology ,the farmer is assured of cooling of up 8 degrees Celsius even of the surrounding environment is as hot as 45 degrees Celsius.
This means a farmer can safely store her produces for up 45 days ( crops ) and 72 hours for Milk with out getting worried of getting spoilt .

Competitors

In Africa our competitors include;
Solar freeze
Cold Hub is another competitor we have an market

Advantages or differentiators

All produce what seems to be like our Product and with the only difference being that their Product can cool up to 15 degrees Celsius whereas our product cools up 8 degrees Celsius.

Finance

Soler cool is aware that many farmers may not afford to buy our 4000 USD technology ,we therefore rent these cold shed to female farmers through their groups and in 2019 our annual revenue was totaling to 1.8 Million USD

Business model
