Here’s an obvious idea: an air conditioner that run’s on sun. That’s what a company in California, SolCool Inc, will be releasing into the market next month. The air conditioner will be able to cool one large room and “can be run on solar power, from a wall socket” or a battery backup in case of blackouts or if there is no sun.  Regardless of the power source, the system will lower electricity costs substantially, according to company executives. Potentially, if these units get used in a widespread manner, they could also reduce the odds of summer power outages, often caused because homes and buildings crank up their air conditioners. The unit operates at a maximum of 500 watts, far less than half what typical air conditioning units eat up.
