We not only spend a lot of money but also use a lot of energy, while using our air conditioners. An average home consumes 12% of electricity to power its ACs in India.

Each year, air conditioning releases 117 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a result, while we try to stay cool, we’re contributing to the one thing that makes each summer hotter: climate change.

Fortunately, there is a method to stay cool while reducing both your energy expenses and your carbon impact- by using a solar air conditioner!

Solar-Powered AC

Solar Air Conditioners are a revolutionary solar cooling technology that is not only energy-efficient but also cost-effective. There are two types of solar-powered air conditioners, each with its own set of features.

  • Solar PV air conditioners
  • Solar thermal air conditioners

Solar photovoltaic (PV) air conditioners

Solar PV air conditioners function similarly to regular split air conditioners. The system is fueled by the energy generated by solar panels, rather than electricity from the grid. The number of solar panels required varies according to the system’s size. Typically, they will include two to six solar panels.

These systems can also be combined with solar batteries, allowing extra energy generated by the solar panels to be used after the sun has set. These systems are known as “solar hybrid air conditioners” when they are combined with a battery.

Solar thermal air conditioners

Solar thermal air conditioners are air conditioning systems that use solar energy to generate the thermal energy required for cooling. These systems use the sun’s energy to heat water. The hot water turns a liquid refrigerant into a gas, which absorbs heat from the air and makes it cooler. These systems can also produce hot water for household use.

Cost of solar air conditioners

The price is the most essential factor that influences a solar buyer’s decision. In general, the cost of a solar air conditioner is determined by several parameters, including its capacity, brand, and rating, as well as its type.

Solar air conditioner prices range from ₹99,000 for 1 tonne to ₹1.39 lakh for 1.5 tonne on average (including solar panel, solar inverter, and complete accessories).

Solar AC Model Panel Watt Selling Price
1 Ton Solar Air Conditioner 1500 Watt ₹99,000
1.5 Ton Solar Air Conditioner 2500 Watt ₹1,39,000

Why are these solar-powered AC worth buying?

Installing a solar air conditioner may be appropriate in some circumstances. One of these scenarios is when roof space is limited.

If you don’t have the space to put a full solar power plant in your home, then a solar air conditioner is a terrific way to get benefits from solar energy. It will help you reduce dependency on the grid and save money on your utility bill.
