So this ice bank idea is kind of awesome. Although it seems for most cases it pays back faster if you have lower electric rates at night. I don't believe I have that. But I have almost enough solar to run a 12kbtu unit. So my first test rig might be two tanks of water for hot and cold. Hook up the solar and see if a can freeze a tank of water! Sounds easy
