A few years back there are some solar aircon (hybrid and not) available. Its not really growing and they don't really answer calls anymore. Wondering on anyone's thoughts on this.
I think its a great solution, cheaper than having to invest in battery system. Why isn't it taking off?
I googled and there should be a 3.5kw aircon for around $3k (with panels) without installation. Its expensive but nothing compared to $20k panel/battery system.
Anyone knows about this?
PROno it doesn't.
But the panels have option to be directed to supply to a solar battery when not in use.
PROA 3.5 kw air conditioner only needs about 1kw of energy to drive it, so not really enough to charge a battery. If the AC isn't running your house would just consume that extra solar energy.
PROThx Frank. I am just not sure whether to invest in a battery system or just install airconditioning first.
Ecoworld offers the aicon in 3.5, 5, and 12kw plus the solar panels. They supply it from qld but I need to get installer in Sydney. As you mentioned they have no battery.
I got a 1 kw solar system already at home.
Working from home, I need aircon only on the hottest days of summer. But our house is double brick, meaning heat transferred slowly. and it gets hotter inside at nights peaking at 12-1am before it cools again.
Aircon will be on around those times at night so everyone can sleep.
PROI would just install the air conditioner that you need. You have to look at the overall cost vs return. For the cost of putting in batteries, the money you save takes about 10 years or more to pay back the investment, and the battery only lasts 10 years anyway.
Remember that your solar panels will generate electricity all day, every day and even if you don't use it you'll get a credit from your power company for every unit of electricity that you sell back to them.
You can always put in a battery later when the cost has come down.
PROThat makes a lot of sense. Thank you Frank
