Solar & DC Air Conditioner
System Kit Information

PLEASE NOTE
We have two different types of solar AC units. Below is system kit information for the solar/battery operated all-DC unit in various configurations based on the required daily hours of operation. See DC Solar Powered Air Conditioner. See DC air conditioner spec sheet (PDF)

We also offer an AC-DC hybrid unit that needs only 3 panels, and needs no batteries or charge controller. For information on the hybrid solar AC-DC model ACDC12 please go here.

*Values given below are for areas with 5 solar hours per day. To calculate the sun hours for your area please use the resources listed at the bottom of this page.
**Complete system prices are examples only and do not include shipping costs. Contact us for current price and availability of any solar components.
*** Battery prices included are for reference only and are based on typical market prices in the USA. We do not sell standard batteries. Please get your standard batteries from a local supplier or contact us for assistance in locating a supplier in your area or consider our high performance solar batteries here.

NOTE* BELOW ARE BUDGETARY SYSTEM COST ESTIMATES. PV module sizes and cost per watt change frequently. HotSpot does not sell the standard batteries used below for budgetary pricing. HotSpot does offer extreme high performance off-grid solar energy storage batteries here and solar battery pricing is here.

NOTE - We are the OEM manufacturer of the DC air conditioners. You can order the DC air conditioner unit from us by itself or as a complete system (not including batteries). PLEASE NOTE -WE LIST THE STANDARD (6V GOLF CART TYPE) BATTERY PRICES FOR BUDGETARY PURPOSES. WE DON'T SELL STANDARD BATTERIES. The listed battery prices are an estimate of the battery costs. We do offer ADVANCED SOLAR BATTERIES please see the Carbon AGM Deep Cycle Batteries here. These are sealed, maintenance-free AGM batteries with a 20-year life. Note, normal 72-cell solar panels for this system must always be used in "2's" meaning, 4,6,8 panels etc.

As one of the worlds leading solar DC air conditioner manufacturers, our main job is to design, build and support the solar air conditioner units. We list and/or provide additional solar and DC system components only as a convenience to our customers. Please feel free to source any balance-of-system components on your own. Note that due to shipping complexities, we do not provide batteries but we can help you source them locally at a good price.

Is an off-grid system out of budget or not what you need? Don't forget we also offer an AC-DC hybrid unit that needs only 3 panels, and needs no batteries or charge controller. It uses up to 90% DC solar power in the daytime, mixed with AC, and uses all-AC power at night. For info on the hybrid solar model ACDC12 click here.
