Pros and Cons of Solar-Powered Air Conditioners
https://www.greenbuildermedia.com/energy-solutions/pros-and-cons-of-solar-powered-air-conditioners

A company called Greenpath Technologies, Inc. is selling a Chinese-made brand of SEER 35 mini-splits called LEZETi. They're not the only players in this new category (see chart below,) but let's focus on them for the purpose of discussion.

I just wrotean article about how mini-splits and solar are a great combination for heating and cooling at minimal CO2 footprint, so it's a topic I'm covering aggressively.

Should you consider going with one of these solar-centric units, instead of some other A/C-only brand of mini split? It depends on ... ---CONTINUED---

How to Run Air Conditioning On Solar Power
https://thetinylife.com/air-conditioning-on-solar-power/

Today I wanted to share information about running air conditioning on solar power.

When I was first planning to move into my tiny house, considering the possibility of running a solar powered air conditioner and cooling system weighed heavily on my mind. After all, living in a humid state, I’ll tell you, I’m one who can’t tolerate the heat.

Homemade AC Air Cooler DIY - Can be Solar Powered!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3YvF4eVQO0&feature=emb_title

Homemade AC Air Cooling unit produces very cold air. 40F air (in an 84F room). 3 ways to power it: a solar panel, a battery or an automobile (using 12v socket "cig. plug"). great for space cooling (in vehicle or small room). cost $15.00. $2 ice chest, $2 pvc pipe and $11 12VDC Fan (10w 0.8A). Fan runs on one 15 watt (1amp) solar panel. works best in dry climate. big block of ice i used lasted a long time. after 5 hours it was only half gone. check out my ice making/freezer vids if you want to make the ice "off grid"
