Foodline’s intelligent solar ice machine was exported to Israel, helping Eli Cohen perfectly solve the problems of high temperatures and frequent power outages faced by Israeli desert retailers.
Eli owns a convenience store in Beersheba, Israel, specializing in cold drinks, seafood, and ice cream, and has been operating for six years. The local summers are extremely hot (often reaching 42°C), and the power grid experiences 3-5 outages daily, causing his old grid-connected ice maker to frequently stop working. He has to spend money to purchase ice from external suppliers, severely squeezing his profits.
To eliminate his dependence on electricity, he has specific requirements: direct-drive solar power (no inverter needed), stable operation at high temperatures, a compact design, and a complete CE certificate for smooth customs clearance. Based on these requirements, we recommend the solar-powered ice maker, perfectly suited to his off-grid operating conditions and space constraints.
Feedback from Eli Cohen
I have used this solar ice machine for two full months. Now I make all my ice with solar energy; costs are significantly reduced. Its DC design saves me money on inverters, the thick foam keeps ice well overnight, and the lock and inner light are very practical for my small shop. Your sales team quickly gave me a matching solar panel plan after I sent my location data. I will place orders for two more units for my new branch stores next month.
Features & Advantages of Solar Panel Driven Ice Maker
DC Direct Drive No extra inverter to purchase. Only solar panels and batteries are needed, greatly lowering the total investment cost for small Israeli retailers.
Heat-Resistant Compressor Customized cooling core adapts to desert high temperatures. The solar ice machine never pauses ice production even when the store room is over 40°C.
Thick Foam Insulation High-density foam slows ice melting effectively. Batteries can support full ice storage through nights with weak sunlight.
Adapt to the Israeli High Temperature Custom heat dissipation structure matches Israel’s 40℃+ summer climate. The compressor will not overheat and stop ice making.
Dual Power Backup Function Supports DC solar + 220V mains dual power supply. On continuous rainy days, you can connect generators or city power for backup ice production.
Wide Voltage Adaptability 10V-50V wide DC voltage design. It works normally whether sunlight is strong at noon or weak at dusk, with no sudden shutdown.
Can this ice machine run stably with my 24V solar batteries?
Yes, it supports both 12V and 24V DC direct connection, fully compatible with all mainstream solar batteries sold in Israeli hardware shops.
Will a solar-operated ice maker stop making ice in 42℃ temperatures?
We equip an all-coil heat-resistant compressor and 110mm thick foam. It keeps a steady 30kg daily ice output under 42℃ ambient temperature, and no automatic shutdown caused by overheating.
What’s the sea transport time to Israel’s main ports?
Standard sea transit takes 22–28 days. We will send a real-time container tracking number to you right after goods are loaded on the vessel for full shipment visibility.
Can my regular staff finish installation without hiring expensive technicians?
We attach a full English step-by-step installation manual. One ordinary worker can complete all connection and debugging work within 1 hour.
What if it’s cloudy for several days in a row and there’s no strong sunlight?
This solar energy ice maker supports dual power supply: DC solar power and 220V AC power. When sunlight is insufficient, you can switch to municipal power or a generator.
