EG4 Hybrid Solar Mini-Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump AC/DC
12000 BTU | SEER2 22

12,000 BTU Solar + Grid Tied Heat Pump

 

For a mid-sized room this is an quality yet inexpensive option for long term low cost heating and cooling. In the right conditions heat pumps alone already add strong electrical savings for heating or cooling a home. When combined with a small solar array and a DC connection, this kit is one of our top recommendations.

 

Use four solar panels to directly power a mini-split heat pump to cool or warm your home or workplace. This low cost solution for heating or cooling your home can be ideal for off grid living or homes with small roof space. With only a 1.8kW solar capacity for a 12,0000 BTU compressor unit, this kit is an efficient method of PV utilization offering quick returns on your investment. This hybrid style heat pump utilizes DC from your solar array or AC from the grid, reducing conversion losses and offering continuous use during sunshine or darkness.

Cons

  • Limited Capacity for Larger Spaces:
    • At 12,000 BTU, this unit is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms (up to 500 sq. ft.). It may not be sufficient for larger homes or open-concept spaces.
  • No Battery Backup:
    • Without a battery storage system, the unit cannot store solar energy for use at night, limiting its off-grid capabilities. However a battery could easily be added into this kit.
  • Installation Limitations:
