SureChill and GreenPower Overseas Ltd are leading companies in the off-grid refrigeration and power solutions markets, respectively. SureChill specializes in providing affordable refrigeration solutions using revolutionary technology that ensures consistent cooling even without electricity, while GreenPower focuses on delivering cutting-edge power and energy solutions.Under the joint initiative titled "Powering the Future: Revolutionizing Access and Efficiency through Integrated and Sustainable Energy Solutions," we are dedicated to empowering underserved communities with reliable, clean, and affordable cooling and lighting solutions. Our shared objective is to create transformative impact, stimulate economic growth, foster sustainability, and ultimately create a future that is inclusive for all.In Nigeria, communities in underserved regions in the country face significant challenges in accessing cooling and lighting solutions. World Bank reports from 2020 reveal that in Nigeria, the electrification rate stood at approximately 57%, leaving over 85 million individuals without dependable access to grid electricity. Consequently, these individuals resort to alternative options like generators and other unconventional power sources. This reliance on alternative means underscores the considerable proportion of people who lack access to essential services such as lighting, cooling, phone charging, television, and fans. We recognize these barriers and have developed two innovative solutions to address them.Solution v1 combines the SureChill SDD fridge energy harvesting system with a Solar Home System (SHS), optimizing energy utilization and ensuring reliable access to electricity. This solution diverts excess energy for later use, providing power to essential appliances and improving the quality of life for businesses and communities.Building on the success of solution v1, solution v2 takes energy access and management to the next level. By integrating the energy harvesting system, remote controller, and a unique payment model into an Energy Management System Control Hub, users gain real-time control over their energy consumption, remote access to appliances, and flexible payment options tailored to their specific needs.To achieve our objectives, we will conduct rigorous testing and validation of solution v1 while simultaneously investing in intense research and development for solution v2\. By piloting both solutions, we will test the efficiency and effectiveness of the solutions in diverse communities, paving the way for seamless integration.By funding the collaboration between SureChill and GreenPower, Innovate UK will support in creating a future where underserved communities will be empowered, new economic opportunities will be unlocked, and a sustainable and inclusive society for all will be fostered.

SureChill和GreenPower Overseas Ltd分别是离网制冷和电力解决方案市场的领先公司。SureChill专注于提供经济实惠的制冷解决方案，采用革命性的技术，即使在没有电力的情况下也能确保持续的制冷，而GreenPower则专注于提供尖端的电力和能源解决方案。通过综合和可持续的能源解决方案彻底改变接入和效率，”我们致力于为服务不足的社区提供可靠，清洁，以及经济实惠的冷却和照明解决方案。我们的共同目标是创造变革性影响，刺激经济增长，促进可持续发展，并最终创造一个包容所有人的未来。在尼日利亚，该国服务不足地区的社区在获得冷却和照明解决方案方面面临重大挑战。世界银行2020年的报告显示，在尼日利亚，电气化率约为57%，超过8500万人无法可靠地获得电网电力。因此，这些人求助于发电机和其他非传统能源等替代选择。这种对替代手段的依赖突出表明，相当大一部分人无法获得照明、制冷、手机充电、电视和风扇等基本服务。我们认识到这些障碍，并开发了两种创新解决方案来解决这些问题。解决方案v1将SureChill SDD冰箱能量收集系统与太阳能家庭系统（SHS）相结合，优化能源利用并确保可靠的电力供应。该解决方案将多余的能源转移到以后使用，为基本电器提供电力，提高企业和社区的生活质量。在解决方案v1成功的基础上，解决方案v2将能源获取和管理提升到一个新的水平。通过将能源收集系统、遥控器和独特的支付模式集成到能源管理系统控制中心，用户可以实时控制其能源消耗，远程访问电器，并根据其特定需求定制灵活的支付选项。为了实现我们的目标，我们将对解决方案v1进行严格的测试和验证，同时投资于解决方案v2的密集研究和开发。通过对这两种解决方案进行试点，我们将在不同的社区测试解决方案的效率和有效性，为无缝集成铺平道路。通过资助SureChill和GreenPower之间的合作，Innovate UK将支持创造一个未来，在这个未来中，服务不足的社区将被赋予权力，新的经济机会将被释放，一个可持续和包容的社会将被培育。
