They utilise whichever power supply is available to reach the set temperature and then switch off until the temperature has dropped to a point where further cooling is required.

The freezers are powered by solar, battery or the grid.

The company makes money by placing a markup on the products that it currently has on the Markiti platform along with the subscription fees for the freezers.
