Beat the Heat and Save Money: Running Your AC on Solar Power

Running Your AC on Solar Power in Pakistan: A Cost-Effective Solution? In Pakistan, where electricity costs can be high, many are turning to solar power as an alternative energy source. A recent video by Muhammad Waseem Technical demonstrates the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of running an air conditioner using solar energy. The video shows a 1.5-ton AC unit and measures its energy consumption using a clamp meter. The author, an electrician, explains that a 550-watt solar panel system is suitable for this application, with a price range of 18,000 to 20,000 Pakistani Rupees. "The cost savings are significant," he notes, "and it provides reliable cooling during peak hours." The video also stresses the importance of a suitable inverter for converting DC power from the solar panels to the AC power required by the air conditioner. The practical advice offered in the video makes it a valuable resource for homeowners seeking affordable and sustainable energy solutions.
