Green Energy Tech in Kingston offers the solar air condition at an approximatre price of $4600 USD not including panels and battery.

Was not sure if I should start a New Topic, so I just revived this one...
We're now using a smart, anti-corrosive, Solar powered air conditioner to cool the home.
***Note***
Available in sizes 12000, 18000 & 24000 btu.

If you're thinking of going green, being more efficient or you just want to stay cool, then you can check this out.
We installed the 18000 btu solar AC at the model house in the Pyramid Point located in Ocho Rios, St. Ann Jamaica.
Panels are JA Solar each rated at 405W.
We used these to cover the open carport hence creating shade while at the same time energising the solar ready AC.

These Zamna AC's can be the source for cold air or can act as a heat pump.
The 12000Btu requires 3 solar panels, the input power required is at least 930W
The 18000Btu needs 4-5 panels, the input power required is at least 1390W
While the sun is out, the Air Con uses the DC power directly from the solar panels, from the video you'll see that the outdoor unit has the MC4 inputs present so there's no need for any inverter to be connected to the unit. The solar panels will just plug directly to the outdoor unit via cables and MC4 connectors.
When there's not enough sunlight, it then takes what it needs from the grid (JPS).
***Note*** it does not drop all the power from the solar panels and then take from the grid, if the panels provide 50% power then it draws the other 50% from JPS.
I hope places like Megamart use this and then pass the savings on to the workers there. It has more than adequate roof space.
Let's act on what we agree on now, and argue later on what we don't.
