Welcome to the Future of Cooling: The Solar Ice Project

Solar Ice is pioneering a groundbreaking solar thermal cooling technology designed to significantly reduce electricity usage and environmental impact. Our innovative system utilizes advanced non-imaging solar thermal collectors to harness sunlight efficiently, converting solar heat into powerful cooling capabilities without relying heavily on grid electricity—particularly during costly peak hours.

Why an Ice Rink?

Our demonstration ice rink is not just about skating; it’s a showcase for our technology’s remarkable efficiency. This pilot project features a 3,000 sq ft solar thermal array, sufficient to reliably chill a 1,500 sq ft ice surface. By successfully cooling an outdoor ice rink—one of the most energy-intensive cooling applications—we vividly demonstrate the potential of Solar Ice technology across various commercial refrigeration markets, including food storage, industrial refrigeration, and air conditioning.

Through this demonstration, we validate our solution’s ability to deliver sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable cooling, paving the way for broader applications that benefit both the environment and energy consumers.

Economic and Environmental Impact

Solar Ice technology significantly reduces energy consumption—by approximately 35% to 50%—resulting in estimated annual electricity cost savings of $87,500 to $175,000. With an upfront investment ranging from $500,000 to $650,000, your return on investment is achieved in approximately 4.5 years. Over the facility’s projected 20+year lifespan, these savings multiply substantially, ensuring both financial and environmental sustainability.

Innovative Technology

Our cutting-edge system enhances conventional refrigeration by integrating advanced solar thermal absorption chillers, dramatically reducing operating costs by 30% to 50%. Beyond operational savings, this innovative technology significantly decreases maintenance expenses and carbon emissions. Adopting Solar Ice positions your facility at the forefront of sustainability, showcasing your commitment to environmental leadership and responsible energy management.Join Us:
