Now Run Your 1.5 Ton AC on Solar Power – Zero Electricity Bill
Imagine how it would be if your air conditioner runs without the tension of electricity bill this summer ? It sounds impossible, but not anymore. Because now with the latest technology solar panel, you can run your 1.5 ton inverter AC with solar panel and keep your electricity bill zero . To run the air conditioner on solar panel, you will have to choose the right solar system, only then you can take advantage of installing solar panels.
Why Run Your AC on Solar Power?
The biggest reason for running an air conditioner on solar panels is the electricity bill because air conditioners consume a lot of power, so the electricity bill is very high. This electricity bill can be reduced only by using solar panels.
Apart from this, the cost of installing solar panels is incurred only once. Then we keep getting electricity from solar panels for 25 to 30 years, that is, for the next 20 to 25 years your electricity bill will be very low.
Apart from this, in areas with frequent power cuts, we can also use solar panels to run air conditioners during power cuts. Because an air conditioner does not run for long on batteries, but if you choose a solar system of the right size, you can run your air conditioner with solar for the whole day.

What Do You Need to Run a 1.5 Ton AC on Solar?
We have many different options to run 1.5 Ton inverter air conditioner with solar panel. You are told about it in detail below.
Option 1: Solar AC
Now such hybrid solar air conditioners have come in the market which can run directly from solar panels. For this you will not need a separate inverter-battery. You just have to connect the solar panel with the air conditioner and your air conditioner will start running directly from the solar panel. But if you want to run the air conditioner at night, then you can run the air conditioner from grid supply, but the bill will come for the electricity consumed at night.
But installing a hybrid solar air conditioner with solar panels costs you a lot more, that is, you will have to spend more first, only then your air conditioner will run on solar panels. You will get a 1 Ton solar air conditioner with 1kW solar panel for around ₹ 1,00,000.
Option 2: Without Battery (Grid-Tied System)
The second best option is on grid solar system. If you have 24 hour electricity at your home, then you can run the air conditioner day and night using on grid solar system and also reduce your electricity bill to zero. For this, you just have to choose the right size of solar system.
For example, if you run a 1.5 Ton inverter air conditioner for 20 hours a day and it consumes around 15 units of electricity in 20 hours, then to get this 15 units of electricity from the solar panel you will need a 3 kW solar panel.
But if you want to reduce your electricity bill by running the load of other appliances of your house with solar panels, then you have to find out your electricity consumption for the whole day. If you consume about 25 units of electricity in the whole day, then you should install a 5 kW solar system, so that your electricity bill will become almost zero.
You can also avail subsidy by installing on-grid solar system. You get a subsidy of ₹78,000 on a solar system of 3 kW or more and in Uttar Pradesh you get a subsidy of ₹1,08,000.
Option 3: With Battery (Hybrid System)
If your house faces the problem of power cuts at night and you want to run the air conditioner even during power cuts, then you can use a hybrid solar system. Hybrid solar system works like On Grid and Off Grid solar system. By installing a battery in it, you can run the air conditioner even during power cuts.
And the interesting thing is that in this you can also make your electricity bill zero like On Grid. For this you have to know your electricity consumption in 24 hours. Suppose, you consume about 20 units of electricity in 24 hours, and during power cut your air conditioner consumes about 4 units of electricity, then now your battery will be charged with those 5 units. So in this way you will need 25 units of electricity per day.
To get 25 units of electricity per day, you should install a 5 kW hybrid solar system, in which you will have to install a 5kWh lithium battery.
How to run AC with inverter
You can find many different types of inverters in the market. You will have to install an inverter of the same type as the solar system you install and you can run the air conditioner with this inverter. If you install an on-grid solar system, then you have to install a micro inverter or Grid Tie solar inverter, so that your air conditioner runs directly from the solar panel without a battery.
If you install a hybrid solar system, then you will have to buy a hybrid inverter, and on a hybrid inverter your air conditioner runs easily with battery and solar power. So in this way you can run any air conditioner with any inverter.
Final Words
So in this increasing heat, to reduce the rising electricity bills, get solar installed at your home today and run your air conditioner on solar, which will reduce your electricity bill and you will get cool air.
