Abstract
An experimental study has been carried out to reduce the costs of freezing products from artisanal fishing in Peru using a photovoltaic solar system. The refrigeration chamber and the photovoltaic system have been equipped with electrical sensors to determine the cooling efficiency and thus calculate the savings. The results indicate that it is possible to reduce costs up to 45% using photovoltaic solar energy. The target users of this technology are artisanal fishermen in Peru. Using photovoltaic energy for freezing would allow them to add value to their products and improve their selling price. In this way, fish commercialization can be performed in better sanitary conditions and at fair prices.
