Solar Powered Air Conditioning
– What is a DC Solar Air Conditioning Unit
There is an alternative solar
powered air conditioning unit offered by Securusair, that is a 48
volt DC operating system.
This unit has four 200 watt standard solar panels mounted on the roof,
which charge four 12 volt deep cycle batteries.
Since this
solar powered air conditioner system runs off of straight DC
voltage, no power inverter is needed, which makes it much more energy
efficient.
Some of the features of this unit include a brushless
DC permanent magnet motor. This
unit is whisper quiet in its operation and produces up to 18,000 BTU of
cooling power. It can be
purchased for as little as $3,500, depending on specials that are being
offered at the time. This unit
can be run anytime, day or night, since it runs off of battery power.
This eliminates one drawback that the absorption chiller AC unit
has, or you’re able to run the air conditioning when the sun isn’t
shinning. This unit can also be
used as a solar air heater,
although it’s main purpose is to serve as a
solar powered air conditioning
unit.
