Did you know that heating and cooling are by far the most energy consuming activities in your home? Wouldn't you like to prevent your electric bill from skyrocketing every summer? Although proper insulation is still essential for cutting energy costs, you can now cool your entire house with the power of the sun by using the SolarChill© evaporative cooler, developed by Southwest Solar.

How does it work?

The SolarChill© units are easy to install and work well in both an urban and rural setting. The SolarChill© is a custom built evaporative cooler designed to run efficiently on a 12 VDC current either directly from a PV panel, or from a PV panel through a battery. Wiring is quick and simple and you can cool your house with the power of the sun in a matter of hours.

How do I select a system?

The best way to size a system is to measure the cubic area of the room you're planning to cool and match it with the CFM of the Solarchill© .  The recommended PV watts are located to the right. The low end number in this field indicates the size of PV Panel that will operate your cooler only during peak sunlight hours, typically between 11AM to 4PM in the summer. The high-end number in this field indicates an oversized panel that will provide enough voltage and current in non-peak sunlight hours to run your SolarChill© most of the day. If you plan to operate your SolarChill© during the night, contact The Solar Store for sizing.
