Ok, a full day and a night of testing the solar powered air conditioning system proves that it can and does work. My stuff costs about $2,000. You may pay a bit more depending on where you look.

In this video I show you where to get solar panels as low as 50 cents per watt. Yes, it is true. You may find that after shipping its $1 per watt. That is cheap and good. Its still cheaper than the full retails of $5 to $10 per watt.

My solar panels are off craigslist at 50 cents per watt. 800 watts = $400

My charge controller retails for about 500

The batteries are about 100 each = $600

Check craigslist for second hand or discounted, scratched or dented solar panels.

Check sunelec.com for low priced solar panels.

The charge controller is an mppt type tristar controller from
