An off-grid cooler has functionality requirements that can't be met by most retail coolers. That's because they require ice, and unless you cut giant blocks of ice from a nearby lake, drag them to your ice house (you have an ice house, right?), and pack sawdust around them to keep the ice frozen for months, then a cooler is incompatible with an off-grid life.

That's where an electric cooler comes in. New models of lithium-ion coolers use electricity to stay cool. Problem solved for our off-grid cooler, right?

Not quite. If you are off grid then you may not have easy access to electricity. Where does the electricity come from?

That's why the best off-grid cooler is a solar powered cooler. We think the GoSun Chill is the best on the market.

The Chill is more than a cooler, it's an off-grid refrigerator without the noisy generator. GoSun joins the latest high-efficiency compressor technology with a solar-powered eco-system to keep you fueled and cooled no matter what. Say goodbye to fishing for soggy sandwiches in a pool of hotdog juice- the solar alternative has arrived. 

The GoSun Chill is portable, efficient, and ice-free. Use the sun to keep your food cold or frozen.
