In some instances, hybrid solar air conditioners are used that can switch between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) modes when sunlight is insufficient. These air conditioners can provide cooling from both solar panels and grid power. They are also more energy-efficient than regular air conditioners due to their hybrid technology.

How much does it cost to install a solar-powered air conditioner?

Installation costs of solar-powered air conditioners can be a bit varied. The exact amount depends on the number of air conditioners, the number of solar panels required, and a few other variables.
