2024: How and why does solar air conditioning now make sense? What finally makes it work now?

https://shop.airspool.com/ What is a solar hybrid air conditioner, anyway? How does it work? Why 2 things make it possible now? A solar hybrid air conditioner is an inverter dc air conditioner/solar air conditioner that can run off of a combination of alternating current from the grid and direct current. The direct current is always prioritized, since generated by the solar panels, and thus is free. It works by plugging around 1,500 watts of solar panels directly into the outside unit of the air conditioner without voltage regulators, batteries, or inverting the solar power. The motors are DC-powered. And, the unit has complex electronics that blend solar and grid power. All of this is possible since i) solar panels have come down in price 85% from 10 years ago ii) the electronics required for the #VRF #variablerefrigerantflow technology in the air conditioner are now possible at an affordable price. #solarac #offgrid #hybrid #minisplit #solarairconditioner #diy #solar #mrcool #solarheatpump #offgridhvac
