  1. 01 · Assess

    Consultation and property assessment

    We evaluate your space, its load and the roof or ground area available for panels.

    • The room

      Size, insulation and how you use the space.

    • Cooling load

      The system is right-sized to the array so it stays balanced.

    • Panel area

      Roof or ground space with good sun.

    • Best fits

      Garages, casitas, home offices, workshops and additions.

  2. 02 · Place panels

    Strategic panel placement

    • Peak sun

      Panels go where they get the strongest sun through the hottest hours.

    • When you need it

      That's exactly when you need cooling the most.

    • Its own panels

      Solar AC plugs into its own panels, so no utility paperwork.

    • Optional battery

      Battery storage extends runtime after sundown or during cloud cover.

    Indoor unit positioning

    • Even airflow

      The air handler is placed to cool the room or zone evenly.

    • Zoned control

      Cool the room you're in and skip the ones you're not.

    • Quiet

      Quieter than traditional central HVAC.

    • Comfort

      Precise temperature and humidity control.

    Component connection and testing

    • DC power

      Built-in inverters convert DC from the panels to drive the compressor and fan.

    • Refrigerant lines

      Lines run, connected and charged.

    • Commissioned

      Certified technicians test the full system.

    • Daylight cooling

      Runs continuously as long as there's daylight.
