Changing the URL from solar aircon to solar power

This post changed the URL of the blog on renewable energy from solar air con to solar power. This reflects the emphasis of the articles namely solar power.

Solar airconditioners using DC power from Solar panels

From GE Innovations

                                      Solar Powered Air Conditioners

According to Mr. Bartolome, this is the best set up.  It uses 48 volts, and batteries.  Savings is l00% but the system costs much. It does not have inverters and is off grid. Read more.

Doubting Thomases on whether solar aircon works or not

This is to be posed to our supplier. There are those who observe that solar aircon does not work.

One such person is Mr. N Bartolome who installed the solar aircon himself.  He bought one unit from China and installed it himself. The savings he observed were not that much.  Maybe it had something to do with the installation.  JUS co mentioned similar problems when the owner did not utilize their installer.  Maybe they earn extra on the installation.  Mr. Bartolome thinks that many Chinese manufacturers make product, and they copy from one another even if technology has not been proven.  He says that what really works is solar assisted with VDC inverter 48 volts.  But then again it is expensive.

DC Inverter Solar Aircon works even better!

From Magsolar in Alibaba

DC inverter aircon even works better.  Take note that inverter aircon saves 30% power, solar aircon about 40% .  What happens if you put them together in a  unit?

Power savings could be as much as 60 - 70%;   power consumption of a 1 hp unit could only be 50 to 80 watts.  The inverter could have a wider range of voltage fluctuation (160 -280)  While normal solar would have a voltage fluctuation of only 198 to 242 volts

FOB price would be about $700.00 or 28,000 php!

Upon checking though, I found out that their prices are rather stiff and steep.  Be forewarned.

Inverters are not tops in power savings consumption; solar aircon are; are also trouble prone

Many of us have been led to believe that aircons equipped with inverters are the best when it  comes to saving electrical power consumption.

Well, as the graph here would show, they are not.

They are also trouble prone since they come equipped with computer box (just like our "modelo" cars)  They are prone to electrical surges or even lightning strikes that are not direct (electromagnetic pulse -  emp)  Many inverter equipped aircons have gone kaput for no apparent reasons and you have to buy as in the efi cars, expensive computer boxes.

Solar aircons come with conventional, non electronic units that are sturdy and not prone to electronic malfunction.
