ShareA solar-plus-ice-battery-storage system at Palm Springs Cultural Center
Ice Energy and Horizon Solar Power have completed the installation of a solar-plus-ice-battery-storage system at Palm Springs Cultural Center in California.
Ice Energy, the leading provider of distributed thermal energy storage
solutions, and Horizon Solar Power, one of California's largest
installers of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential and commercial
facilities, have completed the installation of a
solar-plus-ice-battery-storage system at Palm Springs Cultural Center.
The project was financed by California's Self-Generation Inventive Program (SGIP) and by Property Assessed Clean Energy. Those two organisations support renewable energies by funding projects in different areas (industry, business, agriculture).
The collaboration of Ice Energy and Horizon Solar Power aims at demonstrating the economic value of combining solar PV with ice battery storage to displace peak electricity demand and enable solar self-consumption on a grid-wide scale. The system installed in Palm Springs comprises 73.6 kW of solar panels and five ice batteries, called Ice Bears. These batteries charge during the day, thanks to the solar PV system, and discharge in the evening using the stored ice to cool the Cultural Center.
This kind of collaboration could last, since Claude Mc gee, Director of Business Development at Horizon Solar Power, states that Horizon Solar Power "looks forward to working with Ice Energy on more projects like this across California and the rest of the U.S."
