Abstract
The research purpose is to determine the performance of thermoelectric cooler boxes driven by solar power through photovoltaic devices. The research method was conducted experimentally. The designed thermoelectric cooler has dimensions of 1032 x 676 x 25 mm. The cooler box testing is carried out for several days, starting at 09.30-16.00 WIB with varying weather conditions in June 2020 in the Medan city. The installation of solar panel modules is carried out in locations not obstructed by buildings or other objects. The cooling load in the form of fruit and beverage cans is put in the box cooler. The test results showed that the minimum temperature of fruits and the minimum canned drinks obtained in the test were 25.63°C and 26.58°C, with an environmental temperature of 33,21°C. The values of the coefficient of performance obtained during testing ranged from 0.051 to 0.101.
