I am living up in the mountains in Thailand, we have power but due to frequent 'brown outs' in the area, not enough to use AC. Nearest 3 phase power is 2 miles away and would cost many $$$ to bring in.
I use ceiling fans most of the year, but the 3 months of Hot Season gets really hot and AC would be nice. I was just seeing if it was at viable idea, looks like a generator would be cheaper.

The add states a minimum of 800 watts of solar panels to run that thing so figure 1000 watts of panels to be sure.
The batteries AH rating should be equal your panel watt rating for each day of use. To be safe you should have a 5 day battery in case you have cloudy days and can't charge it as well as not hurting your battery by over discharging it.
So figure 800 to 1000 AH times 5 for your battery size. That 4000 - 5000 ah battery system will cost you thousands of $$. A whole house propane generator will cost you much less.Leave a comment:

How many hours a day do you plan on running it?
What's your location so we can look up the insolation available?

Solar Powered Air Con- possible?
Hi,
I have been searching the web regarding Solar powered Air Conditioning for my small house and came across the link below:
Could this unit work? and if so how many panels/batteries would I need to power the unit overnight (say 10 hours).
I would think it would need quite a large syatem.
