Tests whether grooving the sun-facing face of a direct solar adsorption ice-maker (where the bed is the absorber) raises daily ice by trapping more sunlight. Verdict: contradicted.…
Solar-driven adsorption cooling — the load-coincident application where sunlight supplies the desorption heat. Spans intermittent single-bed solar ice makers (the collector IS the …

Geometric blackness (shape-based light trapping — V-groove / 60° cavities) has a genuine second application on the SUN-FACING FACE of a direct/intermittent solar adsorption ice-mak…
Next:Researched (see thesis) — verdict CONTRADICTED as framed. Do NOT build the grooved-optical version. If the bed face is to be improved optically, use a spectrally-selective coating (α≥0.95, ε≈0.05); if face geometry is pursued at all, treat it as a bed heat-transfer test (developed area), not light trapping.
