A solar powered evaporative cooling system of 0.14m3 capacities is designed and constructed to increase the shelf life of stored vegetables. A suction fan of 12V and a water pump of 6V were powered through a solar panel of 12V with a battery of 12V and 7.5AH used to store charge and maintain the systems operation. The evaporative cooler was tested and evaluated using vegetables. The equipment operates on the principle of evaporative cooling and increasing the relative humidity in the preservation chamber. And provides an efficient storage conditions for vegetables. There was considerable effect on physiological loss in weight of different vegetables kept either inside or outside cooling chamber.
