About BARIDI
https://baridi.co.ke/
BARIDI: Solar Powered Cooling in East Africa’s Livestock Value-chain. Our entry business models are Solar Powered Cold Rooms targeted to preserve over 292,000kgs of meat annually amongst urban commercial meat vendors. The specification of an individual proposed technology includes a 5kWp stand-alone PV system that provides energy to a 20ft cold room that inherently charges a Pay-As-You-Store service for a cost of 10ksh/kg per day for produce preservation. Each Solar Powered Cold Room that we aim to install has the ability to reduce emission impacts of up to 1,548kg CO2e/year, decrease 30% post-slaughter losses, and add a yearly economic benefit of €5250 for a vendor renting 1m3 of cold space.
