Off-grid Aldelano Solar ColdBox™ Provides Water, Power and Cold Storage to Impact Global Infrastructure Problem.

ONTARIO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunger is a persistent problem in the developing world. The solution seems simple—just grow more food. However the causes of world hunger are more complex. According to figures from the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), up to 40% of food produced in the developing world is wasted before it reaches the market, resulting in a loss of 1.3 billion tons of food with a value of more than $1 trillion. Most of that waste occurs because of inadequate storage and refrigeration equipment in places that lack a reliable infrastructure.

A remarkable innovation has emerged with the capacity to erase those food losses. The American-made Aldelano Solar ColdBox^™ is an industrial-grade, portable, solar-powered cold storage mini-warehouse that provides  refrigeration, freezing capacity, water, ice, and a completely renewable auxiliary power source, all by harnessing the power of the sun. All this can be done with virtually no operating costs.

Founded in 1968, Aldelano Corporation is a national leader in customized assembly packaging and warehouse services and founder Al Hollingsworth has observed the problem of hunger firsthand. An expert in the refrigerated food supply chain, he decided to do something about it. "We are offering an alternative to the infrastructure, a way to generate power, refrigeration, and safe drinking water almost anywhere, at any time."

Equipped with the optional Aldelano Solar WaterMaker^™, each Aldelano Solar ColdBox^™ can also produce up to 50 gallons of clean, drinkable water per day by extracting moisture from the air. This feature is a true lifesaver. Illnesses caused by unsafe drinking water claim the lives of 1 out of every 5 children under age 5 each year worldwide. Aldelano's groundbreaking technology couldn't be timelier. UNESCO estimates that by 2025, almost 2 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity.

The Aldelano Solar ColdBox^™ is not just a solution for the developing world. The technology is also an ideal fit for military and mining base camps, hospitals and clinics, relief organizations, warehouses, and the agricultural and grocery industries. Besides the benefit of drastic savings in operating costs and total flexibility in terms of location, the Aldelano Solar ColdBox^™ offers peace of mind. The vulnerability of the U.S. power grid is well-documented. Forward-thinking leaders will see the value in acquiring a solar safety net.
