an air conditioner running on solar without batteries
Hi all, Interesting idea! http://www.hotspotenergy.com/solar-air-conditioner/ It can be used for heating, too!

Interesting specs.. minimum DC voltage is 100, so the panels will be in series, as they say. Maybe it's there in the specs, but I don't know how they deal with startup surge.
What I mean by free lunch is that they're trying to sell the idea that, with a few panels, you can have 'free' air conditioning. Maybe, if conditions are just right, for a short time. Now, if you had a bank of batteries with high enough voltage, yeah, that could work, but they don't want to talk about that.
It's like these ads for a 'solar battery.' No, don't think that's right.
