Run your window AC with just 2 solar panels when sun shines. Easy DIY project you can do in one day.

Obviously there's lots to improve here, but for plenty of people this is a great starting point.

  • I'm surprised this makes sense. When I priced out solar panels and batteries for a similar setup, earlier this year, it was going to take decades just to break even.

    • Did you look into 12v mini split systems? Avoiding the need for an inverter might drastically bring down costs and efficiency. I’ve seen a couple sets out on the market that come with everything already (prefilled mini split system and solar panels). Adding a transfer switch and an inverter could get you somewhere! I liked the idea of it purely as an “assist” with a larger system. Pull some heat out of the house to reduce the load on the main hvac system.
