I've seen other commercials like that on You Tube, but that site was interesting. Not too bad for a 1.5 HP split type A/C and the solar panel shown in the videeo clip is not very large let alone it was made in the Philippines. I'm just curious how large the batteries and it's AC/DC invertor are? Just read the answer to that below the video clip, solar aircon does NOT use solar panels and batteries as most people think. While solar power generators use solar panels and batteries to power up lighting, computer and other loads, the solar aircon is entirely different technology. The solar collector is basically the same as what is found in solar water heaters. During the day, the solar collector will receive and store the sun's heat energy inside it. The sun's heat trapped/stored inside the collector will convert liquid Freon into gas. The resulting liquid-to-gas conversion results in cooling. A circulating fan inside the fan unit distributes or circulates the cool air as in the case of conventional aircon. During the early hours of night, the trapped or saved sun's energy is still used to cool. Just hope for good clear sunny weather! Eventually I may look into it! P38,000 sounds like a lot of money to your average person, but for that type of solar A/C setup it just may pay for it itself in just a few years as long it doesn't break down too soon, because the repair service charges may be over the top and may not be cost effective in a short period of time! Anyway, it's good to see progress of that nature in the Philippines!
Only if electric vehicles can come down in price, that would be a winner too!
