Why aren’t air conditioners solar powered? The power requirements of air conditioners are astronomical so a single air conditioner would require a large surface area of panels to supply its power needs. The GreenCore 10200 gets around that by using a battery pack which is recharged throughout the day.

While the configuration that the GreenCore comes with will not provide enough power to completely run the air conditioner, it will put a dent in the power bill and it can be joined to other solar panels to supply its complete power needs. [Green Core Air via Treehugger, DVICE]
