Zero‑Carbon Industrial Cooling
Solar‑Powered. Grid‑Light. Climate‑Resilient.
Sun‑Ice delivers large‑scale cooling and heating for industrial and commercial buildings — powered primarily by the sun, with thermal storage that keeps operations stable, efficient, and climate‑resilient. The grid becomes the backup, not the primary energy source.
The Challenge: High Cooling Loads, High Costs, and High Carbon
Industrial buildings face year‑round thermal loads that strain energy budgets and infrastructure.
Cooling is often the largest single energy expense, and traditional HVAC systems depend heavily on the grid or diesel.
- Rising electricity tariffs increase operating costs.
- Grid instability threatens production uptime.
- Diesel generators add carbon, noise, and maintenance burden.
- Sustainability standards are tightening globally.
Industrial operators need a solution that reduces cost, cuts carbon, and improves resilience — without compromising performance.
Ready to Scale Zero‑Carbon Cooling and Heating — Today
The Sun‑Ice Architecture
Sun‑Ice uses solar energy to drive industrial cooling during the day.
Excess solar is stored as cold in our thermal storage system and released when the sun is no longer shining.
- Solar‑powered cooling and heating
- Thermal storage for night‑time and peak‑load operation
- Grid‑light architecture (grid used only as backup)
- Zero diesel in normal operation
- Climate‑resilient performance during outages and extreme weather
This architecture transforms industrial buildings into low‑carbon, low‑cost, energy‑independent facilities.
Proven at Industrial Scale
Flagship Deployment: 25,000 sqm, 5‑Storey Industrial Building — Shanghai, China
Our solar‑driven thermal architecture is fully operational in a large industrial facility, delivering both cooling and heating with net‑positive annual energy performance.
- Demonstrated at full industrial scale
- Integrated into a multi‑storey, mixed‑use industrial building
- Achieves cooling and heating with solar as the primary energy source
- Exceeds the Green Mark efficiency standard
This is not a pilot — it is a commercial, real‑world deployment.
