Bob,
Solar ice-making and cooling has been of recent interest. Maybe this article will intrigue (and inspire) others as well:
Several companies have started producing turnkey products, based on the principles from this "do-it-yourself" article. It's starting to see some application in Africa and other developing countries, where electrical infrastructure is limited, or too expensive:

Dear Taff,
Many thanks for the links. I have a small interest in solar heat and power as I have a friend who runs a business installing solar powered hot water systems (http://www.oxfordecobuild.co.uk/). I introduced him to Sketchup, for which he was grateful. I also have a colleague at the Clarendon Laboratory working on a wind power project, but one with a twist, in that it stores energy as hot water for domestic use.
Kind regards,
Bob
