Are Solar Air Conditioners worth it?

You may have heard about solar air conditioners in the media. They are certainly being talked about, but are solar air conditioners worth it?

Let’s talk about the types of solar air conditioner first.

DC Solar Air Conditioner – This is the type of Solar Air Conditioner that is commonplace. It uses power directly from your Solar Panels as there is no need for conversion from DC to AC current. However, if you don’t have solar power. The unit won’t run.

Now that may sound ok, but if you live in a warmer climate that is hot after the sun goes down. It probably isn’t something you’d want to entertain. Practically, they are very limiting in their capabilities. But now there’s another option…..

How about AC Solar Air Conditioning?

Soltaro have been very busy for the past few years designing and perfecting the very first smart AC Solar Air Conditioner. But why is it different?

Unlike DC Air Conditioners, the Soltaro AC runs using AC, not DC current. Now we understand that unless you’re understand the joys of electricity that may not mean much. However, in the solar Air Conditioning world. It is revolutionary.

Why is the AC Solar Conditioner so different?

Our Solar AC unit runs off excess solar and more importantly, It can also run using grid power. This gives you the ultimate in flexibility as you get full control over when you want to use your AC unit. Moreover, with an added battery storage unit such as the AIO2, you can program efficiencies to absolutely maximise your home’s cooling or heating. This ensures you get the maximum efficiencies whilst keeping your home at the perfect temperature. All that lovely excess solar power put to good use throughout the day and a full storage battery when you arrive home.

Pre Cooling

Energy efficiency is a very hot topic these days. With everyone scrambling to lower their energy bills. Energy has become a very expensive commodity, so what can you do to protect yourself against heavily increasing energy costs?

Here’s an example. Rather than arriving home and turning the AC unit on maximum the moment you arrive through the door. Your Soltaro AC has been set to utilise excess solar throughout the day and turns on the AC unit in your home when there is excess solar throughout the day. The result, your home is much cooler when you arrive home. You don’t need to put the AC on full to bring your home’s temperature, and as it’s been powered with excess solar. The power has cost you nothing. Simple eh?

Better for everyone.

Not only does smart pre cooling help your pockets and your comfort levels. It also helps the grid. By not drawing excessive amounts of energy at peak times, you are helping to alleviate the peaks and troughs of energy usage from solar called the solar duck curve.

Not only is the Soltaro AC Solar Conditioner the first of its kind, it’s also part of the Soltaro Energy Efficient Smart Home Product Range. Our Air Conditioner has all of the features you’d usually expect but as it is powered from AC rather than DC, it opens up a whole new way to cool or heat your home. All whilst saving you money.

Time for change. Time for Soltaro.
