- In detail
Solar air conditioners are not new, they have been commercially used in the U.S. since the early 20th century and are a very widely deployed technology. Solar air conditioner units are also very popular in Asian countries like Japan, where the high cost of electricity make them very desirable and they constitute up to 40 of all installed commercial air conditioning tonnage. They are simple and dependable, using no harmful CFC (Freon, etc.) and some units actually operate without any moving parts.
When engineered to run on solar energy the Solar AC units provide the lowest cost to operate and the best return on investment of any air conditioning system in the world.
Our solar heating and air conditioning units can be used anywhere that the sun shines; they are low in operating and maintenance costs. They consume little or no electrical energy - essentially the only parts that use electricity are low amp fan motors and small pumps that move the thermal transfer fluid (Glycol, a food-grade antifreeze) from the collectors to the chiller and then back up to the collectors - all of these small electrical loads can run from solar PV panels if desired. Inside the unit is another small pump that circulates the refrigerant. There is no "compressor" to consume power.
