The popularity of solar air conditioner is responded by some manufactures to produce them professionally. One of them is ‘the millennia version 4’ from ‘SolCool’. It is claimed as the hybrid technology and friendly to the environment. The solar panel types that available are batteries, wall-socket, and pinch. According to the company executives, it has been designed with the new innovation system that requires less electricity costs and helpful to decrease the power outages during summer season. It operates at a maximal of 500 W. This means, the unit work far less than that the regular air conditioner appliances eat up.

The pollution problems and high energy costs are the dominant reasons why there are many manufactures that push up the efficiency performance becomes the priority concern in product design. The newest system of ‘SolCool’ is claimed one of the great efficiency systems at this time. Its development research requires more than three years. The unit uses the medium photovoltaic solar-cells and can produce around 18,000 BTUs. The battery is powerful that can run the unit continuously more than one or two days, depends on the size of battery. The battery is the back up energy that so helpful if there is not available adequate sun-light energy. It is also can be used to run other appliances that use DC or direct electric current such as ceiling fan unit, DC lights, etc.

There are some reasonable factors why you should convert your old conventional air conditioning unit (with R-22 refrigerant) to eco-friendly unit like solar air conditioner system. As well we know that heating and cooling activities always require the huge amount of energy for every year. Those utilities costs are going to worse due to the tax of electricity grids. On other hand, R-22 units can lead to the ozone depletion layer. Although the eco-friendly solar units are not as familiar as R-22 models and usually also require higher initial cost, especially for the installation, but they offer environmentally technology and friendly to your pocket in long term, this means they are smart investment choice for long time use, aren’t they?

The total cost to put the solar panels on the roofs could around $20,000 or more (before subsidies), this is also dependent to installers. Therefore, it is not surprise if there are some companies that offer the relatively affordable cost for the installation to gain the popularity. One alternative solution to minimize the cost is by adopting the solar power into smaller appliances.

The affordable cost installation should not be the single crucial point to be concerned. The other point that we have to consider as well is the efficiency performance. Energy efficiency rating or familiar known as EER is the familiar parameter to measure the efficiency performance of a unit. The latest version solar air conditioning unit from ‘SolCool” is claimed work at EER of 30! This unit promises better efficiency performance, than its previous version that only needs ¼ the electricity energy of the regular AC devices. Theoretically, the higher initial costs could be returned after around five years.

Overall, if you have adequate budget and want to get the smart investment then solar energy cooling systems are the best answer. Regardless to the high un-front costs, there are almost no reasons why not to try and use those eco-friendly cooling systems.
