SplitCool DC18 Solar Powered Direct Current Air-Conditioner / Heat Pump

Available Fall 2010 See images from Solar Power International - Anaheim October 2009 1, 2
One reason that all-DC Air Conditioners make the best use of solar power is because there are no losses associated with converting DC power from the solar panels into AC power to run a standard air conditioner. Using standard solar panels which produce native DC power, the SplitCool DC18 DC air conditioner avoids the inefficient addition of an "inverter" that converts solar DC current into AC current. Plus, the SPP brushless permanent magnet motor driver provides a variable frequency drive that allows the system to dynamically adjust its capacity based on conditions.

Daytime and Night Time Operation Optimized for Solar Air Conditioning Uses Standard Deep-Cycle Batteries Works with Standard PV Panels

100% DC = No Inverter = No Wasted Energy

The DC18 solar air conditioner has been designed to make the best possible use of costly solar photovoltaic panels. The DC18 can use approximately half of the number of solar panels that would be required by the same capacity standard AC-powered air conditioner of the same max capacity running on solar panels through an inverter. The system is perfect for residential, commercial, telecom, portable classrooms or offices, or remote facilities where conventional or generator power is costly and/or unreliable.
