Summer is the time when you wished you had an Air Conditioner. But, you would rather detest the idea because of the staggering electricity bills you would get once you start using the AC. And it would be a miracle if you could use an AC without paying those hefty electricity bills. In that case, it seems a miracle has just happened!
How about utilizing the free energy of the sun to power up your AC?
The hottest months usually, happens to be also the sunniest. You can use the scorching summer heat to actually remove the heat from your room with the help Photovoltaics (PVs) to power your AC. Photovoltaics are collection of cells which have photovoltaic material that makes use solar radiation to develop direct current electricity. For achieving the best performance the PVs are connected to a solar tracker so as to align themselves towards the sun to receive the maximum amount of solar radiation. The use of a solar tracker would improve the performance of the PVs by whopping 50% in summer.
The use of Concentrated Solar power systems (CSP ) further enhances the utilization of solar power by making use of mirrors to concentrate solar energy onto a photovoltaic cell. Since CSP systems are bigger in construction and expensive they are seldom used to generate power for an air conditioner.
A typical air conditioner consists of the following
1) Condensing coil
2) Expansion valve
3) Evaporator Coil
4) Compressor
Once, the direct current developed by the PVs is fed to the Air Condition unit, you have an Air Conditioner which works on Solar Panels and you can be free from the tension of electricity bills draining your pockets.
Excess power if developed can be used to power other electrical appliance or sold back to a power grid! Ultimately the success of the system would depend upon the cost effectiveness.

Cost Estimation:
The cost of the solar panel (240 V) itself is about $650. The cost of the air conditioner and other accessories will come around another $600. So the total cost will be about $1200 but if you can obtain second hand materials it will be much economical. (The cot estimation is approximate)

sir i want full details about gravity power generation mechanism project kindly give detils and cost of this project … I shall be very thankful to you..
sir i want full information and working principle about air cars and solar powered air conditioner please mail me …. i shall be very thankful to you sir
sir could u plz mail me the full details of solar powered ac!!!
sir my query is that i wanna make solar panels small in cross section that could save much space.
so is there any alternative idea that u can suggest me……
sir i want to full details of projects.
sir , i want full details of this project and some more unique ideas about me projects//……so please sent on my mail ….thanksss…………………………………………………..
mr i want information about solared power air conditioner
Sir plz give a full details about the solar powered air conditioner……….plz send me my email ……….
sir am very much interested in this project
please send me all the details of this project sir
please
sir i am intrest to do this project so please send full details about solar powered air conditionar. thank you…
I think the use of PV cells for generating current is the common idea.. Here the electricity generated is used for working of AC…. So there is nothing special abt it……
can i get full details of this project in my email? please send me, i am very interested in this project
sir am grateful with your tips on solar powered air conditioner, please a more detailled information on the workability of this project would interest me
plz send me more information on this topic
Hi…am thinking of doing this as a small project for my school…can you please send me all the details about this Solar air conditioning. Am very interested in this. Thank you very Much
sir, i want the full details of this project, so is is my kindly request to you to send me full detail of this on my email id.
thank you.
Sir,i want to appreciate all your efforts and contribution towards technological modifications to make life easy for man which is the sole purpose of engineering. But please Sir, can you send me the details of this engineering project.I will be most grateful Sir.Have a nice day.
sir i am student of mech. eng. please give me full details about solar power air conditioner my email id is sujeetkmr332gmail.com…… thanks,
WHAT WILL BE THE TOTAL COST OF THIS PROJECT
Nice Project for Final Year
