Viral: Solar-powered ice cream truck grabs attention of netizens

The photo of a solar-powered ice cream truck has grabbed the attention of netizens, sparking discussions and admiration for the street vendor’s innovation.

The photo has taken the internet by storm, showcasing a ‘Mahalakshmi’ ice cream truck equipped with solar panels on its roof.

The emergence of solar panels as a cooling solution has piqued the curiosity of many netizens, who are surprised by the ice cream vendor’s ability to invest in such sustainable technology.

The viral photo, initially shared on the ‘r/delhi’ subreddit, has captivated online audiences, leading to widespread discussions and admiration for the vendor’s innovation, Times Now reported.

In a city known for its scorching summers and insatiable appetite for ice cream, the use of solar panels on an ice cream truck to maintain the frozen treats’ freshness has garnered attention.

Traditionally, ice cream vendors rely on energy-intensive Glycol freezers, which are not only heavy but also demand substantial power resources, particularly during peak demand in the sweltering summer months.

The emergence of solar panels as a cooling solution has piqued the curiosity of many netizens, who are surprised by the ice cream vendor’s ability to invest in such sustainable technology.

“This is quite likely a well-established business, with the owner possibly having multiple such vehicles. Such ventures often possess the financial capacity for such innovations, unless the vendor has a personal connection to solar technology,” commented one Reddit user.

Another user highlighted government incentives for solar installations, noting, “The government offers subsidies for installing solar panels in homes, despite the initial costs. Sharing this information for those who might be interested.”

The image’s viral spread has also led to discussions on entrepreneurship, with a user remarking, “This demonstrates the advantages of being an independent business owner!”
