Ice cream and sunshine go hand in hand, and several Dutch companies have taken that pairing to heart by creating a solar-powered ice cream cart.
The cart (above and below) uses solar panels in the roof to charge a battery, which powers the cooler storing the ice cream. The roof rises on four telescopic legs that can easily be folded, making the whole unit very simple to transport. And, in case the sun isn’t shining or the battery runs out of power, the cart can be plugged in for a quick charge!

this is GREAT can you send one to my house?????????
COOL IDEA!
Sun Sno in York has an entire shack that is solar powered – all lights, ice machine, blender, fan, radio, everything is powered with the solar panels on the roof of the place.
What modern times we are living in.
…i am so impressed TURKEY HILL!!
love it!!!!
Wouldn’t mind seein one in my home town of Pottsville, Pa.
You could “rent” them out for company picnics, charitable events, outdoor entertainments, etc. It looks great!
What a great idea. Now if they can come up with a solar powered ice cream truck to go around to neighborhoods selling the delicious treat to youngsters and young at heart during hot summer days. No need to go very fast, just slowly travel from street to street selling the ice cream treat.
now why didn’t I think of that. I could be a very popular celebrity second only to Turkey Hill
I’ll take whatever you have
What an excellent idea!
Awesome idea!
Hubby says “boy things have changed since I was a Good Humor man in 1962″ He had to put dry ice in the freezer of his truck. He did not last long at it since he did it to keep busy between college graduation and army basic training and he did not makes much since he worked only Mon.-Thur. so he could be with his friends on the week end. He did enjoy the children and let them ring the bell.
wow what next great idea you have one at turkey hill?????????????
Wonderful to use resources on hand! That is great!
Providing a service and saving the earth–all at one time!
love it!!!!
Now if you could only get it to mow the lawn, then you would have something!
Great idea. Fill ‘er u with Turkey Hill and let ‘er roll!
Who wouldn’t WANT one??!!
This Solar Powered Ice Cream Cart is super. It’s great for the environment.
What a cool idea!!!
What a great idea!!
Ice cream to go in the sun powered cart and I got a trailer hitch on my vehicle.
I’ll never catch up to modern techniques. Guess I am just an old user of things. My freezer takes good care of my ice cream, only melts when I eat it. Yummy
This would be great in Washington DC where I work. We have all these food trucks. This cart would be a great addition. Have your lunch then finish it off with dessert.
now your ice cream can always be available everywhere
I’m coming for that cart NOW! What fun to have ice cream with me at all times.
How can you not love Turkey Hill? Love this cart and can’t wait till 2013 for all the new flavors of Ice Cream.
Nice to see that people are still coming up with great ideas to continue making our lives easier and helping the earth. Now if only there were one filled with TH ice cream near me!
solar powered anything is good, hope they are selling turkey hill
I want one!
WOW THAT IS THE GREATEST LOOKING ICE CREAM CART. HOPE IT IS FILLED WITH TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM.

I see you will still need to use some energy coming from gas /oil.
I must say that your tea is Awesome. I tried it for the first time in June and have been purchasing it every since. This is much simplier then making homemade tea and getting a different taste.
I have since then tried your ice cream and I am in love all over again. I just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your products.
My family just wants to Thank you Turkey Hill!!!!!
I tried your tea for the first time in June and have been purchasing it every since. This is an easy route to me making tea and my family and I love it.
I have also tried your ice cream and have feel in love all over again. My family and I just want to say “THANKS YOU, Turkey Hill”!!!!!
How much ice cream can you stash in that?
hot keeps it cold.
that’s great.
Now that’s a HOT/COOL item.
you can send it to me anytime
Interesting idea!
Genius! This is sort of the reverse of Cleveland’s new Collionwood bioenergy facility, which takes leftover ice cream mix from the pipes of a local-based ice cream company and uses this liquid waste in an anaerobic biomass digestion process to generate electricity. That’s right: ice cream is powering Cleveland. Read more in the blog of the World Future Council: http://power-to-the-people.net/2012/08/ice-cream-is-helping-power-cleveland/
