Ice Cubes Made from Solar Energy

This solar ice making system in Kenya creates refrigeration directly from sunlight, based on the ISAAC™ Solar Icemaker. ISAAC stands for Intermittent Solar Ammonia Absorption Cycle, and is based upon a refrigeration technology called ammonia absorption, which was used before electricity was developed.  ©2012 Save the Food
