Summary: | The necessity for renewable energy sources is on the increase all around the world because of the negative consequences of burning fossil fuel to produce energy. Recently, Saudi Arabia has decided to become the world's largest producer of solar energy by the vision of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2030. This study mainly focuses on developing a solar photovoltaic cell based thermoelectric refrigerator (compressor less refrigerator) which can function as the refrigerator system in houses. The design was going to be equipped with the controller and sensors to reach the required minimum temperature which is around 6 degrees C that is almost similar to the commercial refrigerators.
