		<description>Your link to Green Core Air is no longer good. It goes to an ad page that is barely pertinent - it is not a company website.</description>

		<description>This is nothing new, it&#039;s just an air conditioner that runs off DC power to avoid the power loss from the inverter.   It&#039;s still a freon, compressor based mechanical air conditioner and a photovoltaic solar panel.

What is interesting are the solar air conditioners based on absorption chillers where it&#039;s solar thermal panels that heat water and it is this hot water that drives the absorption cycle.   Solar thermal collectors are one tenth the cost of photovoltaic although photovoltaics are coming down in price rapidly.   Photovoltaics currently only uses one frequency of light energy whereas thermal solar collectors would use all of the sunlight.    The payback period for a solar thermal system is two to five years while the payback period for photovoltaic is twenty five to thirty years.

The downside of a thermal system are the potential for leaks (it is hot water) and the fact that there are very few small absorption chiller air conditioners available, most are intended for use on large campuses and provide hundreds of tons of cooling.    I only know of two makes that are ten tons or less (there are some small RV solutions that use propane as the heat source).   Another downside is that with a solar thermal system, there&#039;s no selling back of energy to the utilities but since the majority of a home&#039;s energy needs is for heating water, residential heating and air conditioning, it would make sense to meet most of the home&#039;s energy needs with solar thermal and then only have a small photovoltaic array.   Note that absorption chillers are designed to use natural gas burners as the heat source so you can have natural gas as the backup to solar.</description>

		<description>Hi I am looking for a solar airconditioning system for india. I have so many office buildings through out india. can you send me a quote stating how much will it cost right now to install for 1 ton of refrigeration, also include running and maintenance costs if any.</description>
