Abstract: Storage and transportation of goods very essential in any field, especially such as foods, vaccines, items require cold storage. In medical field the importance of this is much more. In rural, forest based villages dont have any cold storage places, where this type of problems much more, to overcome such kind of issues, solar based vaccine refrigerator gives the best results. In this point we designed and demonstrated solar based vaccine refrigerator for medical field. The refrigerator system is designed for a capacity of 150 liter. The supply of electricity to run AC compressor is provided by solar panels through the inverter. In addition to this, provision is made to work at night. Considering with, without Phase change material we worked for different loads with different temperatures. For domestic and small business applications, this type of solar refrigerator can be used. It can be ideal solution to store vaccines or food, which requires low temperature during transportation For domestic and small business applications, this type of solar refrigerator can be used. It can be ideal solution to store vaccines or food, which requires low temperature during transportation
