Delhi’s scorching summers are a tale as old as time. To tolerate the heat, Delhiites often slurp kulfi, lassi, faloodas and ice creams. So, it isn’t a coincidence to come across many ice cream parlous and ice cream trucks in the capital. This time, an ice cream truck from Delhi is going viral on social media for having solar panels on its roof. Here’s why this is a genius idea.
Ice Cream Truck In Delhi Has Solar Panels On Its Roof

Usually, ice cream vendors rely on Glycol freezers. These freezers aren’t heavy but they do require a lot of power to run and keep ice creams fresh. So, solar panels help the ice cream vendor to ensure the freezers have sufficient electricity to maintain the low temperatures. But Netizens scratched their heads and wondered how the ice cream vendor could afford this expensive solar panel in the first place?
Netizens Are In Awe
In no time, the Reddit post’s comments section was filled with hilarious comments. One person commented that the government is anyway offering subsidy to people to install solar panels at their homes. While it is pricey the government subsidy can help. Another one comments about the benefits of entrepreneurship.
And then there were cheeky comments where a person commented that we pray to laxmi. But this ice cream vendor has Mahalaxmi. Well, many agreed that the fact that the ice cream truck has solar panels on it is proof enough that the vendor’s business is booming.
Meanwhile, Delhiites, have you ever seen any ice cream trucks or food trucks running on solar panels? Does it inspire you to opt for solar panels for your home too?
