Solar Air Conditioner Heat Pump Certified: AHRI, EnergyStar, UL 1995, CSA 22.2, ETL, & California Energy Commission SAVE >90% ON COOLING / HEATING COSTS Click here to download the solar AC specification sheet. This is the 4th generation solar air conditioner we've all been waiting for - designed for low cost, easy installation and a fast payback. This unique solar air conditioning technology requires no batteries, no inverter, no controller - just plug in the solar panels and start saving up to more than 90% on daytime cooling or heating costs. For home or office use, this system will cool an area for pennies with 90% or more of the energy coming from sunlight. In addition to cooling, the ACDC12b solar heat pump will provide solar powered heating, operating all the way down to an outside ambient temperature of 5F. No matter how far north or south you are, this is the right system for you. ACDC12b solar air conditioners need no batteries, and

only need two or three PV panels to deliver a huge savings. During the day, when air conditioning is needed the most, you can operate this unit with very little draw on yourAt night, you continue to save due to the >SEER 21 rating on this unit. The mini-split air conditioner design allows you to put solar cooling into the area where it's needed the most and avoid the security issues of an unsightly and noisy window unit. If your location needs heat during the winter, take a full 1-ton of the daytime heating load off of your main heating system and get a head start on evening heating requirements.  because it's a ductless system, it allows 100% of your heating or cooling to be delivered to where it's needed without the loss that occurs in a ducted system. Note - this is not 220v utility power is required. If you have no AC power and need an off-grid solar Solar Air Conditioning Cooling & Heating Augmentation

Augmenting a space heating or cooling system with solar makesbest ac and heating unitsIn addition to heating or cooling a small area,price to install ac unit it allows you to add capacity to an existing system, or reducehome ac unit cycles on and off the load on an existing system, either or both of which can save you money and add comfort. Solar augmentation also allows offsetting of higher daytime electricity rates and reduces the amount of early evening catch-up required by the normalThe ACDC12b hybrid solar air conditioner allows you to add comfort without adding cost, and can sharply cut your daytime heating and cooling bills. The ACDC12b installs just like a normal minisplit air conditioner,

then you connect the solar panels using industry-standardYou can use 1, 2 or 3 normal solar panels (but not 12v "battery charger" panels) of 230w-300w each for a total of up to 900w. You can order the panels, etc. from us or purchase them locally, note the panels should be minimum 30v PV panels (30-39v), please review the specifications. The ACDC12b uses R410a, an ozone-friendly refrigerant, so it is legal for the customer to self-install however we recommend hiring a professionalIf self-installing you will need a vacuum pump to commission the unit. Anti-Corrosion For Long Life Designed to last a long time even in coastal and/or island areas where salty mist, saline fog, or salt spray may come in contact with critical air conditioner components, the ACDC12B uses SeaSpray Anit-Corrosion Technology to protect the electronic and mechanical components from corrosion. On pure AC power when no free solar energy is used, official AHRI SEER is >21.

With AC power input being reduced by free energy from 2x 235w solar panels, effective SEER can be calculated as >35. With free energy from the recommended 3x 295w panels, SEER can be calculated as >65 under good sunlight conditions. Note, there is no official SEER rating for units that blend free energy mixed with paid energy, however these numbers are calculated using the formula that is used for official SEER calculations. The Manufacturers List Price on the ACDC12b is $1695. Solar panels, etc., are not included. HVAC professionals who purchase in quantity should contact us for dealer and distributor pricing. Private branding is available. These units are normally in stock.

Volume 62, Issue 2, February 1998, Pages 79–84 Performance of a second generation solar cooling unit Received 18 January 1996, Revised 8 October 1997, Available online 23 June 1998This paper describes the performance of a 1.5 ton solar-operated absorption refrigeration unit operating with a 14 m2 flat-plate solar collector system and containing five heat exchangers: the generator, the absorber, the condenser, the solution heat exchanger (all of these being of shell-and-tube type) and finally the evaporator

, which is of the fin-and-tube type. One circulation pump is used for solution flow and another for the hot water flow. The condenser and the absorber are both cooled by city mains water. This particular unit, called the second generation unit, is compared with an earlier, first-generation unit (FGU), i.e. a low-cost, locally manufactured unit of 0.5 ton capacity. The results are based on the observed operation of the unit during hours of sufficient solar irradiance in April and May, the beginning of the air-conditioning season in Jordan. The variation of both the generator and evaporator temperatures during the test period are reported. Also reported is the performance of the unit as measured by the actual and theoretical (ideal) coefficients of performance, both of these being functions of the temperatures and solar irradiance. The maximum values obtained for both actual and theoretical coefficients of performance were 0.75 and 2.7 respectively. These values are within the range of values published in literature, and higher than those obtained by the FGU.
