A company by the name of GreenCore Air has released a new eco gadget, a Solar Powered Air Conditoner that is powered by it’s 170Watt solar panel. The solar panel charges it’s internal battery supply when left in sunlight. The result is a popular product that doesn’t rack up expensive energy bills!
The GreenCore 10200 has complete climate controls, allowing you to warm or cool a room. The GreenCore 10200 can cool a 600 square foot room, which is pretty impressive for a small unit. The batteries can also be topped up via AC power at night rates (cheaper than day rates), which is a great help if the sun’s rays are not enough to charge the batteries.
However, the unit appears to be pretty large. I’m sure that GreenCore Air are working on a product for permanent residential and commercial premises where the solar panels are fixed on the roof. A great move forward, as air conditions cost a fortune to operate!
