Solar Power Pv Panels

Caroline Said:

Converting my AC Air Conditioner to DC Motor make it anymore efficient with direct power from PV Panels?

We Answered:

It really would not do you any good. The only power you'd save would be that which an inverter draws, and that's minimal. We live off grid and I can tell you that running a central a/c unit with solar will be exceptionally costly to setup and maintain. We use wind and solar and batteries and have over $25,000 in our system and I could not power a 220-v a/c unit.
