Izzy's Ice Cream

2034 Marshall Avenue

St. Paul, MN 55104

Inspired by the community thinking of the solar project at Old Man River Cafe (now Cafe Juliahna) , the owners of Izzy's Ice Cream initiated a solar project called High Noon Solar @ Izzy's — solar powered ice cream supported at a private company by hundreds of donations and volunteer hours! To make their vision a reality, Izzy's sought out and formed many partnerships: retail and wholesale customers, staff, the Neighborhood Energy Connection, the Green Institute, Innovative Power Systems, Banks Electric, the City of St. Paul STAR Grant program, and many more. The 8.6-kilowatt system started producing power on January 1, 2006. Come by and get a scoop of the only solar-produced artisian ice cream in the world at Izzy's!
