Solar air conditioner

In Korea, LG Electronics (LG) has announced its first eco-friendly residential hybrid air conditioner that utilises solar energy as part of its power supply.
Solar air conditioner

As a clean, renewable energy source, solar power is drawing ever-more interest both from the environmentally conscious and average consumers looking to make long-term savings in their energy bills.

By combining power generated through the solar cell module attached to the top of the outdoor unit, this 76m² standing-style air conditioner can produce up to 70 watts of power per hour, providing enough energy to run the unit's air purification process. The average standing-style units require only 50 watts of electricity to run the air purification system for one hour.

The unit will be only available to the SA market at a later stage, based on demand.
