solar compressors 1

[yaserkashi]

we are looking for some ways using the solar system for air conditioning compressors. is it possible and with what power?

Just get enogh pannels, the inverter will get the voltage and the frequency you need. A 6000 BTU/hr AC good for 300 square feet will need 10 amps at 110 volts. A 10 amp solar panel will run about $8000 plus install. The panels will power the AC for about 2 hours per day, if you add about $1000 in batteries, you'll get 4 hours. If you want AC full time, the whole system will run %25,000. To buy the electricity it will cost about $1.5/day

I've never heard of anyone using a dynamic compressor for refrigeration, but I'm not sure why not.

zdas04, Did he mean he wanted to use a Catapillar Solar compressor? If thats the case you cannot use a Cat solar compressor, you can couple their engine to a York and then run your refrigeration.
