Based on the research of semiconductor refrigeration, solar energy is introduced as the driving energy of semiconductor thermal effect, and the comprehensive utilization of semiconductor thermal and cold effects is deeply studied. Through theoretical design, experimental fabrication, testing and other research methods, a solar driven cold and warm box suitable for outdoor environment is designed and manufactured with semiconductor refrigeration chip as the core device. The results show that the cooling and heating effect of the new type of solar driven semiconductor cold and warm box is better. It not only has a wide range of applications in areas without electricity and lack of electricity, but also applies to areas with high level of development, such as as car cold and warm box, tourism cold and warm box or field operation cold and warm box. At the same time, in poverty-stricken areas such as Africa, where the disease is rampant, this cold and warm box can also be used for the cryopreservation of drugs and vaccines, which shows the potential for export.
