Most Overdue Product Ever: Solar Air Conditioner!
Happy Monday fellow green-lovers. Let’s face facts, we all want to be as green and eco-friendly as possible, but when it comes to battling the soaring temperatures of summer, it can get a little, well, difficult. Who among us, when it’s 90+ outside, would not turn on the ol’ A.C. if it you just so happened to own one?! As green as I like to be, I have to admit, when temps reach the 100 degree mark, the air conditioner gets turned on. Guilty.
So what if there was a way to stay cool in the summer and NOT feel guilty? Who wouldn’t take that chance?! Soon enough, that’s a question we won’t even have to bother asking. That’s right, the most overdue product of all time is finally surging onto the market: the solar air conditioner! Doesn’t it just seem altogether too obvious, and shocking that this hasn’t been around sooner? When do you need a.c. the most…when it is sunny…when is solar power most effective…when it is sunny. Bam, problem solved.
Apparently it wasn’t that easy, but I just read an article about how two new extremely awesome products are on the market that might change the way solar powered a.c. is seen. According to the article:
“The Greencore 10200 comes in two models: a fixed one, and a mobile version (which can be had with 2 or 4 batteries). Using a single 170-watt solar panel, it can keep a 600 square-foot room cool. One of the good design decisions was to make it run on DC current, so no AC inverter is needed and conversion losses are avoided. The Greencore solar A/C system is actually a hybrid; when the sun isn’t shining, it can use power form the grid, during off-peak hours, to charge its batteries. This is the kind of load shifting that can save money and smooth out demand.”
Kudos Greencore, with clients like McDonald’s and the United States Navy already using your products, you should have no success marketing it all over the country, and all over the world. Now, send me one to test out, will you?!
