Solar Powered Air Conditioning (VIDEO) [Edit]

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. (news)

Love the idea, great for CA AZ NM TX UT CO WY HI PR FL alone. Wow. Now add rooftop solar array feed to Unit & or solartube array & power up to 3-4 homes on a shared power grid line. Great for Rural use alone. Imagine use in Hi rise Apts or Condoes.

oh absolutely. costa rica would love these. i would love one of these. i don't need a power-sucking AC, just something to take the edge off when it's truly hot.
