VILLAS
Reliable Climate Control. Zero Grid. Zero Carbon.
24/7 Solar Powered Cooling and Humidity Control for Villas and Standalone Properties
Sun Ice delivers continuous cooling and dehumidification for homes, villas, and remote properties — powered primarily by the sun, with silent operation and bi directional meter connection with the grid to balance good weather an bad weather periods.
The Problem: Heat, Humidity, and Unreliable Power
- High temperatures make villas uncomfortable and unhealthy.
- Humidity causes mould, mildew, and long-term damage to interiors, furniture, and finishes.
- Grid failures shut down brutally AC’s, damaging compressors, humidity rises and property integrity suffers.
- Remote locations often have no reliable cooling at all.
The Sun Ice Solution
Sun Ice uses solar energy to power our thermal storage system during the day. When the sun is no longer shining, the stored thermal energy is released to deliver silent, reliable cooling and automatic humidity extraction.
- Solar powered cooling
- 24/7 humidity control
- Silent operation
- No diesel or grid required (backup only during prolonged bad weather)
- Zero carbon emissions during normal operation
Year-Round Climate Control
Cools by day, stores energy for up to 16 hours of autonomous cooling after sunset. In climates with a heating season, the same system reverses to provide winter heating — topping up with grid electricity when solar is limited, while still delivering strong annual savings.
Proven Performance: 40 Villas in Bali, Indonesia
Financial Results
- Cooling cost equivalent: €0.07 per kWh
- €0.04/kWh daytime and + €0.03/kWh nighttime
- Today 7 year payback due to extremely low temporary local electricity cost (the payback will decrease sharply with future higher non subsidised electricity cost)
Operational Results
- 100% uptime for cooling and dehumidification
- 24/7 comfort with solar as the primary energy source
- Grid or generator used only as backup during extended rainy periods
- Protects interiors, finishes, and occupant health
Environmental Results
- 5.6 tons CO₂ avoided per villa per year
- Equivalent to removing two cars from the road/room
Ideal for
- Luxury villas and smart homes
- Island and coastal properties
- Remote cabins and mountain retreats
- Boutique hotels and eco resorts
- Cold storage and wine cellars
- Home clinics and medical storage
- Tropical and high humidity climates
- Villas and homes in temperate, four-season climates
Performance Snapshot
- Typical villa size: 60 sqm
- Energy use before Sun‑Ice: 60 kWh/day (grid or generator)
- Energy use with Sun‑Ice: 0 kWh/day in normal operation
- Daily reduction: 100%

F.A.Q
Sun‑Ice is designed for new buildings with strong insulation and high‑performance envelopes.
The better the insulation, the lower the cooling load — and the more efficiently Sun‑Ice units operates.
We work closely with architects to optimise:
- Building orientation
- Insulation levels
- Shading and solar control
- Ventilation strategy
- Thermal mass and envelope performance
This integrated design approach ensures the building requires as little cooling as possible.
Yes. Sun‑Ice can provide heating by pairing the system with a reversible heat pump.
The heat pump produces hot water, which is circulated through the Sun‑Ice system, allowing it to operate like a highly efficient, fan controlled radiator.
The system is engineered with enough storage capacity to handle most cloudy periods.
For large buildings, the grid can supplement the system if needed.
Yes — substantially.
By using solar as the primary source of cooling, Sun‑Ice dramatically reduces electricity consumption.
In large buildings, exporting excess solar electricity back to the grid further improves operating costs and delivers a faster ROI.
Sun‑Ice is designed so that solar is the primary source of power for cooling.
- Off‑grid containers: 100% solar‑powered with no grid connection. Solar also recharge auxiliary batteries for LED lighting and ventilation.
- Large buildings: Solar provides most of the cooling energy, with the grid acting as a backup during extended low‑sun periods. Surplus solar electricity can be exported back to the grid. Making the building energy positive.
