Background
Solar Cooling Engineering GmbH (SCE) is a spin-off company of the University of Hohenheim in Germany. It was founded in 2018 after 6 years of research. Solar Cooling Engineering developed components suitable for the local production of cooling systems powered by solar (The SelfChill Approach) and joined efforts with the solar company, Phaesun GmbH for the commercialization of components and solutions though long-term partnerships in Africa.
The research and development objectives were highly inspired by the challenges and lessons learnt from former projects that took place at the University of Hohenheim by piloting cooling systems in the tropics and subtropics.
