an air conditioner running on solar without batteries

And how much actual cooling do you suppose this unit does compared to a regular ac unit? Very little.

Hi 2oldman,

I'm not sure what you mean.

Unit Connects Directly To Solar Panels No batteries needed. Like all DC Inverter air conditioners, the ACDC12C compressor runs on DC power, which may at times be converted from AC power. This special solar air conditioner can accept DC power directly from solar panels, without needing an inverter, charge controller, or batteries. The solar DC power directly replaces AC power from the power company and can cut daytime energy costs for air conditioning or heating by up to 100%. No power is exported and no net metering agreement or special meter is needed. Can be used with all-DC, all-AC, or AC-DC whereby the unit can seamlessly blend both power sources with a bias towards using all available DC (solar) power
