Environmental regulations in my country are changing and I am concerned the refrigerant used in the FR-B series may not be allowed in the future.
The Phocos FR-B series models utilizeR600a, the most environmentally-friendly refrigerant available in the marketplace today. Some countries are already outlawing other refrigerants and requiring use of only R600a.

Do I need to have the FR-B refrigerator/freezer connected to a battery or can I connect it directly to a solar panel?
Phocos does not recommend running the FR-B series directly from a solar panel because the refrigerator will not run at night or when weather conditions are not ideal for solar production causing spoilage.

Can I operate the FR-B Series appliance on 48 volts from my 48 Vdc battery system?
The appliance can operate on 48 Vdc with the addition of a 20 Amp DC/DC converter (a reliable converter such as the Meanwell SD-100C-24 usually runs about $35 on Amazon).
