Solar-Powered HVAC

The one HVAC conversation a solar and electrical contractor is genuinely better placed to have.

The short answer

Cooling load and solar production peak at almost the same time of day in Arizona, which is what makes pairing them worth doing. A solar-integrated cooling setup means sizing the array, the system and — where there is one — the battery against each other, so the largest load in the house is running against the hours the roof is producing hardest.

Licensed through our qualifying party for this trade. Licence number and holder are published here on this page — pending from the owner for this preview build. Our electrical and construction licences are listed on the licence page.

Why the timing works here

A Phoenix house draws its heaviest cooling load through the afternoon, which overlaps substantially with the hours a south and west-facing array produces most.

That overlap is the entire argument. It is also why the conversation has to involve whoever understands the array, the panel and the system together — a cooling contractor sizing a unit without looking at the roof is solving half of it.

  • High-efficiency and variable-speed systems suited to solar production curves
  • Array and load assessed together, not in sequence
  • Battery integration where peak-hour rates justify it
  • Panel capacity checked before anything is specified

What we will not claim

We are not going to put a savings figure or a payback period on this page. Your utility, your rate plan, your usage pattern and your house all move that number, and a number published on a website without any of those inputs is a marketing figure rather than an engineering one.

What we will do is model it against your actual bills and your actual rate plan, and show you the working.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can solar run my air conditioning?

During production hours, frequently a large share of it — the timing lines up well in Arizona. Running cooling overnight off stored power is a different and considerably more expensive proposition, because that is battery capacity rather than panels.

Do I need a battery for this?

Not necessarily. Without one you are using production as it happens, which for daytime cooling is most of the benefit. A battery matters most if your rate plan makes evening hours expensive.

Will this work with the solar I already have?

Usually. We will look at what the existing array actually produces and when, and tell you honestly whether adding cooling load to it makes sense before anyone specifies equipment.
