Ice Energy, the leading provider of distributed thermal energy storage solutions, introduced the Ice Bear 20 — a smaller-capacity version of its flagship Ice Bear system. The new system combines Ice Energy’s patented thermal storage and smart-grid technology with integrated cooling, enabling utilities to control residential cooling load and reduce peak demand by up to 95 percent for up to four hours. It also allows increased load during periods of solar over-generation, while providing homeowners the cooling they desire.
