We’ve just wrapped up this exciting install on a popsicle truck here in Guelph! The inverter is currently drawing 111 watts of power to keep the refrigerator running, and with a solar panel mounted on top of the popsicle trailer, it’s generating 130 watts late in the day. This means the truck can stay cool, ensuring the delicious mango popsicles made right here in Guelph remain fresh.

We've been talking about this project for a while, and now it's done—we've done it yes thank you very much well done local power local food local businesses helping each other yes.
