How to Choose the Right Solar Freezer for Your Home | 189L vs. 205L vs. 240L Comparison

Still losing your frozen food to PHCN?

You’re not alone… and it’s more expensive than you think.

Here’s the truth: in Nigeria, every blackout is a chance for your food to go bad. That’s your money… melting in real time.

But what if you could completely sidestep the national power drama and keep your food chilled 24/7?

That’s where energy savings freezers powered with Solar come in.

And in this post, we’re breaking down three of the most popular options: 189L, 205L, and 240L freezers… to help you figure out which one is your perfect match.

Why Every Nigerian Home Needs a Freezer powered with Solar

Let’s be honest.

You can’t always count on PHCN. And running a generator just to keep your food cold? That’s a money pit.

Freezers powered with Solar are the silent heroes of Nigerian homes. Once installed, they use sunlight to keep your groceries fresh. No noise. No fuel. No stress.

Whether you’re a student, a busy parent, or running a frozen food biz from your backyard… you’ll thank yourself for getting one.

The Exclusive Models: 189L, 205L, 240L

189L
205L
240L

Each one was built with a different kind of home (and hustle) in mind

189L Freezer

Best for: Students, single professionals, or couples
Why it works: This compact freezer is perfect if you live alone or just need to chill essentials.
Power setup: Can be paired with a 2kVA inverter and 1 battery
Bonus: Fits into small spaces and draws very little power

Real-life scenario: If you’ve got just a few items to store and no space for something bulky, this is your guy.

Hisense 205L Freezer

Best for: Small to medium families
Why it works: Think of it as the sweet spot… enough space for your family’s needs without being a power hog.
Power setup: Ideal with a 4.2kW inverter + 2 batteries
Bonus: Cost-effective, solar-friendly, and space-efficient

Think: Perfect for that 3-bedroom apartment where suya, soup, and snacks always need a chill spot.

Hisense 240L Freezer

Best for: Large households or mini food businesses
Why it works: Got a big family or a side hustle selling frozen chicken? This one’s got you covered.
Power setup: Requires a 4.2kW inverter setup with 2 batteries
Bonus: Massive capacity with reliable insulation

Note: Yes, it’s big. But it pays for itself if you’re bulk-stocking or feeding many mouths.

Not Sure What Size You Need? Here’s How to Choose

Ask yourself:

  1. How many people live in your home?
  2. Do you stock up weekly or monthly?
  3. Do you sell frozen goods from home?
  4. How much space do you have available?
  5. What’s your solar budget like?

Use your answers to guide you. And if you’re still unsure? Go middle ground (205L). It works for most people.

Energy Use and Solar Compatibility: What You Must Know

All three models are designed for low energy consumption, making them perfect for solar use.

  • 189L runs efficiently on basic setups
  • 205L balances power and size
  • 240L offers major storage perks

Pair them with NovelSolar’s hybrid inverters and tubular batteries for optimal, round-the-clock performance.

Want a pro tip? A 230Ah tubular battery + a hybrid inverter = a blackout-proof freezer setup.

How to Make Your Freezer Last Longer

Like every good thing, your freezer needs a little care:

  • Keep it in a well-ventilated area
  • Don’t overstuff it
  • Defrost regularly to avoid ice build-up
  • Use a voltage protector for longer lifespan

How to Power Your Apartment Without Spending a Fortune

Nigeria’s Power Problem Doesn’t Care If You’re A Tenant

It’s 10:45 PM.

You just got home after a long day in Lagos traffic.

You finally kick off your shoes, ready to Netflix-and-chill… when NEPA decides your night should be more romantic.

Lights out. Fan off. Fridge? Dead.

You think about your generator.

But then you remember… Fuel is now competing with gold in price per litre.

And just like that, your peace of mind packs up and leaves.

But what if I told you there’s a way to never worry about this again?

Not with some big “billionaire mansion” solar setup. But with something built specifically for people like you. Renters. Apartment owners. Regular Nigerians who just want light.

The 2kVA/12V Novel Hybrid Inverter — Your New Best Friend

This thing is not here to play.

It’s built to handle your essentials:

  • Fan (Because sweat life is not for everybody)
  • TV (Because after working hard all day, you deserve it)
  • Decoder
  • Laptop
  • Charging phones

And guess what? It runs quietly. No generator wahala. No noise making you feel like you’re at Oshodi market.

It’s affordable. It’s reliable. It’s designed for apartment living.

Why This Setup Beats Generators Every Day

  • No Fuel Stress
  • No Noise
  • Low Maintenance
  • Budget Friendly
  • One Time Investment That Pays You Back Every Month

Compare that to a generator:

Fuel cost alone could power your inverter for weeks. Maintenance cost? High. Noise? Annoying.

Honestly, it’s not even a fair fight.

How To Get Started (Without Breaking The Bank)

Step 1: Start small.

Get the 2kVA/12V Novel Hybrid Inverter.

Step 2: Power what matters most.

Step 3: Enjoy your peace of mind. Sleep well. Work well. Live well.

Final Word

Nigeria’s power problem is not going anywhere soon.

But you?

You don’t have to keep living like a victim.

Be smart. Be ready.

Own your power. Literally.

The Day Light Failed… And A Principal Realized Nobody Was Coming To Save Them

Some stories are not cute.

Some stories punch you in the gut.

This one?

It happened right here in Nigeria.

Mrs. Alaba runs a school in Oyo.

Good woman. Hardworking. Loved by her students. Respected by parents.

But one hot Wednesday afternoon?

All of that was hanging by a thread.

It was PTA meeting day. Parents packed into the school hall. Children excited. Teachers ready.

Then it happened.

NEPA struck.

Lights gone. Fans dead. Projector off.

Parents shifting in their seats. Children sweating.

And Mrs. Alaba standing there… Looking at her school… Looking at her people… And realizing:

“Nobody is coming to fix this for us.”

 

That was the day everything changed.

She picked up her phone. Called Novel Solar.

And we knew exactly what to do.

The Best Solar Inverter For Schools

We didn’t come with fancy talk. We came with results.

The 4.2kW/24V Novel Hybrid Inverter.

This is the solar inverter you install when you are tired of NEPA’s wahala.

It can power:

  • Classrooms
  • Staff Rooms
  • Lighting
  • Fans
  • Admin Blocks
  • Even some lab equipment

But guess what? Not every school has one million to throw around like that.

That’s where our second trick came in…

The Budget-Friendly Alternative

The 3.2kVA/24V Tusker Hybrid Inverter.

This is for schools that want power backup for admin use, lighting, and small devices… without killing their budget.

Mrs. Alaba said yes to both.

And today?

Her school runs like a dream.

Why Should You Care?

Because every day you delay is another day your students suffer. Another day parents lose confidence. Another day fuel prices eat your pocket.

Going solar is not about “if.” It’s about “when.”

And the smartest schools in Nigeria? Already figured that out.

Ready To Stop Playing Power Lottery?

Visit www.novelsolar.com

Or walk into any Novel Solar office near you.

We will check your school.  Recommend the perfect solar setup. And help you stop bleeding money over electricity.

P.S. Mrs. Alaba thought solar was expensive… until she realized how much being powerless was costing her every single month.

Don’t wait till NEPA embarrasses you in front of parents.

Act smart. Act now.

Novel Solar has your back.

How the Olamides’ Finally Beat PHCN… Without Buying a Generator

A small family of five. Dad works a 9–5. Mum runs a little home salon. Three kids with a mix of homework, online classes, and cartoon cravings.

And then there’s NEPA.

They live in Ibadan. And if you know anything about power supply there, you already know how the story starts… long nights, dead fans, dark rooms, and silent fridges.

They tried it all… candles, rechargeable lamps, kerosene, gen sets. You name it. But every “solution” came with either too much stress, too much noise, or too much spending.

Until one evening, during yet another blackout, something changed.

It Started with a Floodlight…

Their neighbor next door had this weirdly bright light glowing in front of his house. Even when there was no light anywhere else, this compound? Lit like it was daytime.

No gen hum. No flicker. Just… pure brightness.

Curiosity kicked in. Mr. Olamide asked. The answer?

“Bro, it’s the 200W SMS Floodlight from Novel Solar.”

He didn’t wait. Ordered his the next day. No wiring, no installer stress. Just a mount-and-go setup. Double solar panels, full night coverage, zero electricity bill.

Then They Solved the Inside Too… On a Budget

Now that the outside was handled, the inside still needed help.

They couldn’t afford a full inverter yet. But going back to candles? Never again.

That’s when the sales rep mentioned something called the Novel Portable Solar Kit + 4 Bulbs.

Not flashy. Not expensive. But solid.

Four rooms. Four bulbs. One simple kit. Charged by the sun. No PHCN drama.

For the first time, their home didn’t just look powered from the outside… it felt powered from within too.

You Don’t Need Big Money to Start Smart

Let’s be honest.

You don’t need to “go full solar” in one day. That’s where most people get it wrong.

Start where it hurts most… lighting. Inside and out.

The floodlight keeps your compound safe, lit, and thief-proof.
The portable solar kit keeps your kids reading, your nights calm, and your home PHCN-proof.

And all that? For less than what you’d spend on fuel in 3 months

From Frustrated to Fearless… All Thanks to Solar

Today, the Olamides barely notice when the power goes out. Their house is always lit. And more importantly?

They’re no longer waiting on PHCN to decide their bedtime.

Want That Same Freedom?

You can start exactly how they did.

✔️ One 200W SMS Solar Floodlight for outside
✔️ One Novel Portable Solar Kit + 4 Bulbs for inside
✔️ Peace of mind, powered by the sun

P.S. You don’t need a millionaire budget to solve a billion-naira problem. You just need the right solution… and now you know where to find it.
