Freezer specs [RE-wrenches]

[Foster, R.]

Note that SunDanzer (formerly SOLUS) is a U.S. company based out of 
Sparks, Nevada which developed this technology jointly with NASA 
(which holds the patent).  The solar controls and assembly are done 
by SunWize in New York.  The refrigerator cabinet they use is from 
eastern Europe.  We are using the PV direct drive version in Mexico 
and Central America with good results; and likewise for the battery 
version on the Navajolands (draws about 2 A on 24V).  See

www.sundanzer.com

and check the proceedings of the last ASES conference for performance details.
