I'd like to install a 48V DC air conditioning system.
The
Hotspot Energy system sounds great, but it's very expensive at $2,000 USD, and Hotspot can't organise the shipping (I'm in the UK) so I'll have to get a shipping company to pick it up from their warehouse and organise all the export / import paperwork. This will probably be very expensive.
Here's some chat about the Hotspot system.
Recently I've found a similar solution from a Chinese manufacturer that's being resold by various Alibaba merchants. I'm not 100% sure who the original manufacturer is, but I've been speaking to Candice Tian at Supergreen Tech (
www.supergreensolar.com /
www.solar-air-conditioner.com) who seems to be very knowledgable about the systems. Here's
their product page. (Here's
another alibaba merchant selling the same device).
Candice quoted me $418 for the aircon unit, plus $780 for door-to-door shipping to the UK, including import tax.
Has anyone had experience with these units?
