Thermal Energy Storage Storage in Rocklin
Helping Homes & Commercial Properties Throughout Northern California Save On Cooling Costs
With rising temperatures, power grids are increasingly stressed. Air conditioning is the main driver of peak demand and the most difficult load to manage. Ice Energy's behind-the-meter Ice Bear batteries offer utilities a proven way to permanently eliminate up to 95% of peak cooling load.
At Ice Energy, we specialize in providing cutting-edge thermal energy AC solutions and products in Rocklin and throughout Northern California. Our mission is simple—help homes and businesses cut down on energy use and save money. We manufacture the Ice Bear for commercial spaces and are now introducing the Ice Cub for residential homes.
These systems work by creating and storing ice, which then helps your AC unit cool your space more efficiently—especially during peak hours when electricity costs the most. It's a smarter way to stay cool without overloading the power grid. Whether you're looking into battery backups, HVAC replacements, or energy-efficient AC installs, our solutions are designed to work alongside your energy-saving goals.
If you're searching for a better way to manage your utility bills and reduce your energy footprint, our thermal energy storage technology is the future—and we’re here to help make that future work for you.

How do thermal batteries work?
The Ice Bear stores energy by freezing and storing ice during cooler, off-peak hours. During peak hours, it turns off energy-intensive AC compressors and uses the stored ice instead to provide cooling for up to 8 hours. Each Ice Bear battery comes equipped with a smart-grid controller and bi-directional communications to give utilities real-time visibility and control. Individual units, custom groupings or entire fleets can be dispatched to shift and optimize cooling loads. Learn more
Ice Bear advantages for utilities:
- Reduces the need for carbon-intensive peaking generation
- Defers or eliminates expensive transmission and distribution upgrades
- Improves system efficiency and grid reliability
- Flattens the duck curve by using solar over-generation to freeze Ice Bears and then by discharging cooling during peak to eliminate AC load
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
- Deployable at megawatt scale
