The Hot Sun Now Cools

The sun is a cruel mistress, absent for half the year during the cold, gray winter, until we beg for her return. Then come her return, she burns us with her harsh rays by day, and keeps us up with the lingering heat from her intense daylight by night. How many times in your life have you cursed the summer sun for being the cause of such unrelenting and unbearable heat, cranking up the AC in the hopes of keeping cool?

The sun is capable of such heat because of how powerful her rays are. The energy from the sun is famous for raising seasonal temperatures as well as bodily temperatures, but what if solar energy could cool us down instead?

We rely on solar energy to power a range of appliances and machine systems today. Sunlight can fully power homes and businesses, providing a clean energy source while minimizing or even eliminating a power bill. The latest AC development from the Carrier Corporation is looking to take air conditioning off the grid next.

Founded by the inventor or modern air conditioning, Willis Carrier, Carrier Corp has recently joined forces with SolarCity, a big name in the solar energy movement, to make solar powered HVAC systems more accessible and affordable to consumers.

The very same force of nature that causes the brutal heat and discomfort of summer is now the force that will cool us down. That sounds a bit like irony…

SolarCity and Carrier Corp are collaborating on this latest breakthrough in both solar and air conditioning technologies, but it could be some time before affordable solar AC systems hit the market.

Luckily, there are still affordable and efficient options to help you fend off the summer scorchers in the meantime. AC-World.com carries a variety of AC options to meet our customers’ diverse needs - and all are available at wholesale prices that can’t be beat.
