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
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:
- How many people live in your home?
- Do you stock up weekly or monthly?
- Do you sell frozen goods from home?
- How much space do you have available?
- 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.
Pair them with NovelSolar’s hybrid inverters and tubular batteries for optimal, round-the-clock performance.
