Solar Powered Cooling
With the addition of a solar powered air conditioner the hot and sticky wait is finally over. This is a solar appliance that makes sense. Air conditioning is most needed when the sun is at it's brightest and strongest. It just happens that that is the very time when solar power is most available. Seems like a marriage made in heaven.
Air conditioners are one of the few appliances that everyone is using at the same time, placing huge loads on conventional power grids on the hottest days. It's these overwhelming loads that stress the grid system to their breaking point making rolling brownouts and blackouts necessary.
That means that solar powered ac is not only a boon for us solar power advocates but the non believers stand to benefit as well just by being on the same power grid. At the time of this writing (Nov.2008) Greencore air's solar powered air conditioning units are only available commercially as supply is limited but just the fact that it'll soon be available at the retail level makes me feel cooler already.
There's a portable unit as well as a built in model ready to go now both of which are hybrid units that'll switch to grid power to recharge batteries when the need arises. It is possible to run the units exclusively on solar power with additional solar panels and batteries if you so desire.
This solar powered air conditioner is cool in more than one way
And while they were designing these solar powered cooling units they saved us more money by choosing to have them run on DC power. No need for an inverter to convert the energy to AC, the power can be used right from the batteries.
