Does anyone know if this technology is being used in remote villages of sub-Saharan Africa, where there’s plenty of sun but very little electricity and a huge need for refrigeration?

And by the way, I’m not sure the students were claiming they had an “invention” as much as a “demonstration.”

Great post – I’m getting some more panels installed this fall, and I saved some money after I figured out how to do it myself for cheap.

Most seem to be missing the point here. The difference is the source of the heat. Early gas-absorption refrigerators used another source of heat, such as kerosene. Even more resent solar heats like the one from the tree hugger website first heat water to then heat the gas. If a few of you had attended college you would be able to think out side the box and realize that these “little” changes can be huge, such as replacing fossil fuels with direct sunlight, which can not be done by “reading a history” (that ones for you Dennis).

There is increasing concern that governments are allowing companies to reduce the price paid to producers of exported renewable energy. Large banks and organizations dominate the large scale markets of renewable energy generation that have up till now made significant profits in the current climate.

The price of energy doesn´t seem to get cheaper – clearly the changes must be made within each of us and adopt our own renewable energy generating capabilities and reduce our demand on expensive, fluctuating imported energy.

Verdegía in Spain have a solution, Solar Engine Systems that generate plenty of green energy. If we ourselves, government and councils adopted this type of new technology then we could all very quickly change the effects of our demand on fossil fuels. – The Solar Engine Systems supplied from Verdegía boast 39kW/h and operate 24/7. That´s enough energy for 12 or more homes! And, they only take up the space of a single 200W PV panel.

A major cost in renewable energy farms is the infrastructure, land and high capital investment, producing electricity locally within a distributed network is the most cost effective. It’s time to move away from large expensive solar farms and into the next generation of high performance renewable energy generators that effectively create a solar farm within one panel and at a 100th of the cost. This technology will allow us to turn vacant city rooftops into a hive of renewable generators that will not only feed our cities but will provide energy independence.

Imagine a future where electricity was FREE and in public places you could just plug in and know that the energy being consumed has come from 100% renewable sources.

Let us consider if we ourselves generated renewable energy and if every home generated enough for 12 homes then we could very quickly achieve 100% renewable energy in all areas.
The company Verdegia, S.L. is generating free electricity and clean green energy from a new solar technology system called Solar Engines – why rely on others to make the change for us?
We must make change happen.

Lousy design, wastful use of material, the original crosley was more cost and size efficient. These are engineering students? If these dorks had any real skill or knowlege they could have made a usefull device instead of that bolt together, off the shelf parts, grade school science project. Poor parts selection too.

I think it is great that you show another side of solar energy, who can imagina it can be use to make ice…
