Don't use solar power - It causes global warming. It also will make the sun burn out faster.

Compare a chunk of ice to one of those thermoelectic coolers. The TE device will use about 50 watts to produce about 15 watts of cooling. One kg of ice will provide the same rate of cooling for six hours. A 1 kg gel cell battery will run the cooler for about a half an hour.
