It may seem like an oxymoron powering the very machine with the energy source that the machine is working to combat. But yes, the sun is being used to power air conditioners and hopefully we will all be able to evolve to using solar powered air conditioning in the near future!
Solar panels are used to passively collect solar energy then convert the energy to electricity via photovoltaic conversion.
The U.S. Energy Independence And Security Act of 2007, created 2008 through 2012, funding for a new solar air conditioning research and development program. This project is working to promote a lesser need for power and therefore relieve us of the outrageous electric bills we pay in order to stay cool during the summer heat. It is also an environment-friendly cause, since there are less carbon emissions with solar powered air conditioning.
Contrary to what many may believe, solar air conditioning is able to supply cool air even in the evening when the sun isn't shining. This is because the solar panels collect and store the energy from the sunlight during sunny hours. So you can still use it even when there is no sunshine.
Solar air conditioners are now obtainable and are slowly gaining popularity, because of the guaranteee for lower utility bills. Being nice to the planet is good incentive too!
