Whoah whoah whoah. Hold on. It still ‘uses electricity’, but not from the grid.

C’mon. Ain’t little hampsters running through the wires from the solar panel.

At first, I thought maybe it used heat to drive a refrigeration cycle (like the gas-powered refrigerators), but it's got a solar-powered compressor that freezes ice packs in the walls combined with some hefty insulation. Still cool, but yeah, also uses electricity.

Definitely still super cool.

Well… I say “super cool”… down to 8 degrees anyway.
