How Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning Works

Solar ACDC hybrid air conditioners are designed to use solar power directly from dedicated solar panels. During daylight hours, the system can use available solar energy to operate the air conditioner, with grid power automatically assisting when additional power is required.

Unlike a traditional air conditioner connected only to the grid, a hybrid solar air conditioner can make use of the sun while you're actually using your air conditioning most.

KEY BENEFITS INCLUDE

Use solar power directly to help run your air conditioner

Reduce reliance on grid electricity during the day

Automatic AC and DC power balancing

No battery required for hybrid systems

High efficiency heating and cooling

WiFi control and monitoring

Suitable for residential and commercial applications

Options for split, ducted and cassette systems

Solar Hybrid Split System Air Conditioning

Solar ACDC hybrid solar air conditioners require no batteries to deliver huge savings. During the day, when air conditioning is needed the most, you can operate this unit partly or up to 100% by it’s independent solar panels to achieve maximum efficiency. At night, you can continue to save due to its high efficiency and special AC limiting option.

The WIFI functionality allows full control, daily and weekly timers, complete visibility with AC and DC consumption and the history of all power consumption.

SOLAR ACDC DUCTED and CASSETTE Hybrid Air Conditioners

Solar ACDC ducted hybrid and cassette requires no solar grid connection for installation and no utility company authority is required either. It can operate independently off the AC Grid turning itself on when there is sufficient solar power and off when there is no longer enough power from the sun.

The Light Commercial Concealed Duct and cassette type is a one-of-a-kind purpose-built DC Hybrid solar air conditioner built from the ground up 100% DC requiring no electronic inverter, battery, or charge controller needed.

Solar Air Conditioning Mackay FAQs

What is solar air conditioning?

Solar air conditioning uses solar photovoltaic panels to provide electricity directly to an air conditioning system. Solar ACDC hybrid systems can use solar power during the day and automatically draw from the electricity grid when additional power is required, meaning you can reduce your reliance on grid electricity without needing a battery system.

What is the difference between solar air conditioning and normal air conditioning?

Normal air conditioning relies on electricity from the grid. Solar hybrid air conditioning can use power directly from solar panels during the day, reducing the amount of grid electricity required. When solar power isn’t sufficient, the system automatically draws power from the grid.

How does a hybrid solar air conditioner work?

A hybrid solar air conditioner uses DC electricity generated by dedicated solar panels to help power the air conditioner. When there is enough sunlight, the system can operate primarily or entirely from solar power. When solar energy is insufficient, it automatically supplements the available power with electricity from the grid.

Do solar air conditioners need batteries?

No. One of the major advantages of the Solar ACDC hybrid systems installed by Recon Energy is that they can operate directly from solar panels without requiring batteries. This keeps the system simpler and avoids the additional cost of installing battery storage specifically for the air conditioner.

Can a solar air conditioner run at night?

Yes. Hybrid solar air conditioners can use grid power when solar energy is no longer available, allowing you to continue cooling or heating your home at night. The system can also be configured to limit how much grid power it uses.

Will solar air conditioning work on cloudy days?

Yes. The system can still operate when solar production is reduced. When there isn’t enough solar energy available to meet the air conditioner’s demand, the hybrid system can supplement the available power from the electricity grid.

How much can I save with solar air conditioning?

Your savings depend on the air conditioner size, how often you use it, available sunlight, your electricity tariff and the solar system configuration. Because air conditioning is often used during the hottest part of the day, when solar generation is also strongest, a hybrid solar air conditioner can use solar energy when you need cooling most.

Can solar air conditioning reduce my electricity bills?

Yes. By using electricity generated directly from solar panels to operate the air conditioner, you can reduce the amount of electricity it needs to draw from the grid. The potential saving depends on your system, usage and solar conditions.

Can I use solar air conditioning without an existing solar system?

Yes. Solar ACDC hybrid air conditioners use dedicated solar panels connected directly to the air conditioning system, so they don’t necessarily need to be connected to an existing household solar installation. Recon Energy can assess your property and recommend the appropriate configuration.

How many solar panels do I need for a solar air conditioner?

The number and size of panels required depends on the air conditioner capacity, the installation location, available roof space and expected solar conditions. Recon Energy can assess your property and determine the appropriate solar panel configuration for your system.

Can solar air conditioning heat as well as cool?

Yes. The Solar ACDC systems offered by Recon Energy are heat pump air conditioners, providing both cooling and heating. This means the same system can provide year-round climate control.

Are solar air conditioners suitable for homes and businesses?

Yes. Solar ACDC offers hybrid solar air conditioning solutions for residential and commercial applications, including split, ducted and cassette systems. Recon Energy can help determine which system is suitable for your property.

What types of solar air conditioning systems are available?

Solar ACDC offers hybrid systems in split, ducted and cassette configurations. Recon Energy can help you choose the right system based on the size and layout of your home or business and how you use your air conditioning.

Is solar air conditioning worth it in Mackay?

Yes. Mackay’s hot climate means air conditioning is often used during the day when solar power is available. A solar hybrid air conditioner can use energy directly from the solar panels, reducing your reliance on grid electricity and potentially lowering running costs. No battery is required.
