In tropical regions or areas with hot summers, air conditioning is essential. Due to global warming, areas that could previously rely on fans during the summer now find air conditioners an indispensable part of life.
However, as major electricity consumers in households, air conditioners pose two issues while providing comfort:
- High electricity bill: High energy consumption leads to elevated electricity bills—especially during continuous use in the summer, potentially making up a significant portion of a household’s budget.
- Energy supply problems: Additionally, in regions with energy shortages, frequent power outages may prevent air conditioners from operating continuously, and voltage instabilities could also disrupt their operation or even damage the units.
Normal Solar Air Conditioner
Market Status
The main way to address high energy prices and shortages is by using solar power. However, a full solar system is an extra expense for the average family. To tackle these issues, various solar air conditioners are now on the market. They mainly come in two types:
- Air conditioners with built-in batteries: Solar power charges the batteries, which then power the air conditioner. When battery power is low, the system switches to grid electricity.
- Solar power directly supplies the air conditioner. When solar energy is insufficient, the system switches to grid electricity.
Disadvantages
Solar air conditioners on the market can reduce electricity costs to some extent, but the user experience is not good. Specifically, the prices of existing solar air conditioners are very high. Although the solar system and air conditioner are integrated, the price is equivalent to buying an additional solar system. Users need more than 18 months to recover the extra cost.
On the other hand, the system automatically switches to grid electricity when solar power is insufficient, which results in low solar utilization. For users aiming to save energy, the effect on reducing electricity use is not significant. They may even need to install more solar panels to ensure the air conditioner’s operation. For users with battery systems, the high cost of batteries makes the hope of recovering the system investment even more remote.
E-Hybrid Solar Air Conditioner
Unique Technology
The E-Hybrid solar air conditioner is designed specifically to meet home users’ needs for saving electricity, improve solar utilization, and reduce system costs while making daily use convenient for users.
The core of the E-Hybrid solar air conditioner is the E-Hybrid AC/DC coupling power supply. It is integrated inside the air conditioner and can handle both solar DC input and standard 220VAC grid electricity input.
During the operation of the air conditioner, as the solar power changes in real time, the system has the following operating modes:
1. When the solar power is sufficient, solar power directly drives the air conditioner.
2. When the solar power is insufficient, solar power and AC power drive the air conditioner in a hybrid mode, and auto-balancing.
3. When there is no solar power, only AC power will drive the air conditioner.
Advantages
- Solar power utilization rate is 30% higher than common solar systems;
- Even if the Solar power is only 1W, still can be used by the air conditioner;
- No matter how the solar power changes, the total output power is stable and relevant to the consumption of the air conditioner;
- Not affected by changes in sunlight;
- Stable output, high efficiency and energy saving;
- Mobile APP display the working status, real-time energy mode, statistics of Solar/AC energy consumptions;
- Affordable cost, and more energy saving.
It is suitable for commercial scenarios. Like offices, stores, shops, hospitals, classrooms, restaurants, etc. The places that require air conditioning in the daytime, and solar power can be utilized.
