Solar Air Conditioning Market

An air conditioner comes with three different components, namely evaporator, condenser, and compressor. The refrigerant that moves inside the air conditioning system is considered the core of the air conditioning system. In the whole process of cooling, the compressor takes in the most amount of electricity for the purpose of heating and compressing the refrigerant.

With so high consumption of electricity and steep rise in the electricity bills, the demand of solar air conditioning system is bound to rise. The global solar air conditioning market is estimated to gather momentum from the demand for more convenience and comfort in day to day life. In addition, drastic change in the lifestyle of people is likely to propel growth of the global solar air conditioning market over the assessment period.

Apart from that, rise in the number of government initiatives such as tax benefits are provided for the promotion of solar energy as the main source of energy is likely to add further impetus to the global solar air conditioning market over the period of forecast.

Solar air conditioning units come in two different variants:

• Hybrids – This type of solar air conditioning system makes a combination of photovoltaic technology with direct current. It automatically makes a switch between battery and solar power as and when needed. When it is set to hybrid mode, these air conditioning systems charge their batteries in the presence of sunlight.  When it is not charging in the sun, the system operates on the battery backup and charges its batteries with alternating current power.
• Chillers – These also go by the name of evaporative coolers. They work by cooling and heating water through condensation and evaporation. By lowing over water-saturated material, chillers cool the air. Solar energy is utilized to power the motor and the fan.

Asia Pacific is estimated to account for a leading position in the global solar air conditioning market throughout the tenure of forecast. Such market dominance is owing to the rapid rise in the disposable income of the people with inclination to spend on premium products.
