A system for PTO-driven refrigeration includes a generator that is configured to be mechanically connected to a power takeoff (PTO) and a converter that is configured to receive AC power from the generator and is operable to convert the AC power to DC power. The generator is connected to a charge controller that is connected to an energy storage element. The energy storage element is connected to a controller configured to receive DC power and provide AC power to a motor. The motor may be mechanically connectable to a refrigeration system. The energy storage element is further configured to receive power from a second charge controller that receives power via an AC power input or solar system.
