We quite literally crossed paths with the Solar Cooler and its designers at a Las Vegas casino during CES where they were showing off the new Solar Cooler. The Solar Cooler, as its name implies, is a portable container for food and drinks that keeps its contents cold using a compact refrigeration system connected to solar panels.

 

If you've ever loaded a cooler full of ice and food to take to the beach, only to find it all a soggy mess once you've arrived, then you can probably understand the appeal of what is essentially a portable refrigerator.
