Solar Air Conditioner - Solar Evaporative Cooler

http://www.livingonsolar.com
We made a solar air conditioner using an existing evaporative cooler. We power the solar air conditioner with a tracking solar panel. Solar cooling and air conditioning is possible.

Post script to the above comment. In the 90 degree heat outside I have actually had to put my slippers on in the house because my feet were cold, the cooler is not on a thermostat. I was the one worried about moving off grid to the middle of the desert and here we are and I'm sitting here laughing about how great the cooler works. Like I said it was 110 outside and we were comfortable inside as to the exact temp. I can't guess. I keep saying thanks over and over. Chris

@CrisYouSassyMedic I am really pleased that my idea works so well for you.

So if it's 100 degrees outside it will be 85 degrees inside?

[livingonsolar]

@Johnnyqwest1 Yes!

You have taken a load of stress off our shoulders. We are moving in the middle of the summer to a place that will be off grid and run on a limited amount of Solar Panels to start with and we were worried about how to cool the place. Our swamp cooler pulls a lot of amps. Thanks for the hot tip we will be converting our swampy asap. Post Script: we've been using a swampy for years and never have had an issue with mold. Chris

@CrisYouSassyMedic I am glad that this info has benefited you. It is the main purpose of providing the video.

Remember that he said "dry climates." My ex's brother bought us an evaporative cooler when our son was born. All good grateful for the gesture, but it was in a Queensland summer where the humidity is so high you're only 3% from swimming. Blowing air across a miniature waterfall to cool a room is a fine idea, unless of course that cool water soaked air just contributes to the problem. People thank the man for his honesty, you don't see it from people trying to move an idea on YouTube to often.

@onebigguitar Yep shared for the good of all and we have shared it with friends that have no cooling at all here in the desert and soon will. Chris

I am sooooo thankful. This swampy has actually saved us from misery. It has proven itself in the 110 degree heat out here in the Mojave Desert. I live in a small place of 1000 square feet and my husband hooked up a 130 watt solar panel to the 12 volt. cooler and off it went. It pushed its limits in such heat but we were comfortable inside. There was a couple of days that were a little humid and of course swampys don't work as well but it did cool. And once again THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.

Awesome... Great idea... keepup the good work!

Just saw the video a few days ago and we have already converted our existing swamp cooler to the 12 Volt. And it works WONDERFUL!!! Ha. Thanks again soooo much. Chris
