-Promethean has now sold over 400 units, of which they have deployed and commissioned over 250 milk chillers coupled to its patented Thermal Battery. The remaining units are pending installation or are in production today. To date, none of the 250 Promethean chillers in the field have required a diesel generator. Without Promethean’s Thermal Battery, a traditional milk chiller would have run diesel generators to chill milk in these villages, leading to higher costs and increased carbon emissions, or milk chillers would not have been installed at all, leading to greater spoilage and decreased quality of milk. As deployment of the chillers continues, Promethean has been able to adapt the solar component design to address specific logistical needs of dairy partners and have seen increased adoption of the chilling solution as a result.<ref name="Powering Agriculture, Promethean Power Systems: https://poweringag.org/innovators/reducing-milk-spoilage-through-solar-powered-chilling">Powering Agriculture, Promethean Power Systems: https://poweringag.org/innovators/reducing-milk-spoilage-through-solar-powered-chilling</ref><br/>
+By the end of the project in June 2017, Promethean sold over 600 units, of which they have deployed and commissioned over 460 milk chillers coupled to its patented Thermal Battery. Today this technology is enabling over 25,000 dairy farmers to chill their milk without diesel generators to get their milk to the market safely. None of the 250 Promethean chillers in the field have required a diesel generator. As deployment of the chillers continues, Promethean has been able to adapt the solar component design to address specific logistical needs of dairy partners and has seen increased adoption of the chilling solution as a result. Promethean’s solution gives farmers a larger time window to bring their milk to the village center so they can be more productive with crops and other income-generating tasks. It’s a win for the dairy processor because they collect more quality milk and they make more profits as value-added products demand high quality milk. It’s a win for the environment as there is no longer a need for pollution-causing diesel generators. It’s a win for the consumers because they are drinking healthier milk. And it’s a win for the farmers because their livelihoods improve.<ref name="Powering Agriculture, Promethean Power Systems: https://poweringag.org/innovators/reducing-milk-spoilage-through-solar-powered-chilling">Powering Agriculture, Promethean Power Systems: https://poweringag.org/innovators/reducing-milk-spoilage-through-solar-powered-chilling</ref><br/>
