⚡ Four Operating Modes
Our Solar AC supports 4 distinct operating modes, each designed for a different power environment. Choose the mode that fits your project — or offer all four to your customers.
Mode A — Pure Solar Drive
100% solar-powered, zero grid dependency.
The system operates entirely on solar energy via DC power. No AC grid connection required. The compressor frequency adjusts automatically based on available solar power to maintain cooling.
| Capacity | Solar Panels | Total Solar Power |
|---|---|---|
| 9,000 BTU | 2-3 pcs × 550W | 1,100 - 1,650W |
| 12,000 BTU | 3-4 pcs × 550W | 1,650 - 2,200W |
| 18,000 BTU | 4-5 pcs × 550W | 2,200 - 2,750W |
| 24,000 BTU | 5-7 pcs × 550W | 2,750 - 3,850W |
Best for: Remote areas, islands, off-grid sites where no grid power is available.
Mode B — AC/DC Hybrid
Solar priority during the day, grid backup at night. Energy saving up to 95%.
Dual power input (AC + DC). Solar energy is prioritized — when solar is sufficient, grid power is not consumed. When solar is insufficient, the system seamlessly switches to grid power.
| Capacity | Solar Panels | Total Solar Power |
|---|---|---|
| 9,000 BTU | 2-3 pcs × 550W | 1,100 - 1,650W |
| 12,000 BTU | 3-4 pcs × 550W | 1,650 - 2,200W |
| 18,000 BTU | 4-5 pcs × 550W | 2,200 - 2,750W |
| 24,000 BTU | 5-7 pcs × 550W | 2,750 - 3,850W |
Best for: Homes, offices, and commercial spaces with grid access but high electricity costs.
Mode C — Off-Grid DC 24V / 48V
Full DC system with battery storage. 100% green energy, 24-hour operation.
Runs on DC 24V or 48V from solar panels + battery bank. The DC compressor, fan motor, and axial flow motor are all DC — no AC conversion loss, maximum efficiency.
| Capacity | Solar Panels | Battery | MPPT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9,000 BTU | 2 pcs × 550W | 24V 30A | ✓ |
| 12,000 BTU | 3 pcs × 550W | 48V 40A | ✓ |
| 18,000 BTU | 4 pcs × 550W | 48V 50A | ✓ |
| 24,000 BTU | 5 pcs × 550W | 48V 60A | ✓ |
Best for: Completely off-grid locations, desert camps, island installations, emergency shelters.
Mode D — 3-in-1 Multi-Function
Solar + Battery + Grid — maximum flexibility, all-day coverage.
The smartest mode. When solar generation exceeds AC consumption, it runs 100% on solar. When solar is insufficient, the battery kicks in. When both solar and battery are depleted, it automatically switches to grid power. Ensures 24-hour uninterrupted cooling.
| Capacity | Solar Panels | Battery | MPPT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9,000 BTU | 2 pcs × 550W | 12V 100Ah | 48V |
| 12,000 BTU | 3 pcs × 550W | 12V 150Ah | 48V 40A |
| 18,000 BTU | 4 pcs × 550W | 12V 250Ah | 48V 50A |
| 24,000 BTU | 5 pcs × 550W | 12V 250Ah | 48V 60A |
Best for: Projects requiring 24/7 reliable cooling with maximum energy savings.
🎯 Three Application Scenarios
1. Unstable or No Power Supply
Islands, deserts, remote areas, post-disaster zones
Where grid power is unreliable or nonexistent, our Solar AC provides comfortable cooling and heating powered entirely by the sun.
2. High Electricity Costs
Supermarkets, hotels, hospitals, telecom base stations, farms
In regions where electricity prices are high, solar AC dramatically reduces operating costs — with a typical payback period of just 1 year.
3. Daytime Cooling Demand
Offices, schools, factories, telecom stations
Most cooling demand occurs during peak sunlight hours. Solar AC converts this natural alignment into maximum savings — the sun powers the cooling when you need it most.
🔧 Core Technology
