Solar Powered Van Ac

Solar is a great van power option if you plan to be off the grid often and want to be able to sustain your day to day without needing to fuel up a generator or plug in.

Solar powered van ac.

I have the hprb08xcm model. I thought i d do a post today because i ve been able to run a few real world experiments with my tiny house and solar powered ac. With an air conditioner taking 150 amps 150 ah would be needed for extra things every hour the air conditioning is being using without the sun shining. This electric van is powered fully by the array of solar panels that it has on it s roof with a custom build mechanism the solar panels are able to slide ou.

So to power a 13 500 btu air conditioner 1 500 watts of solar panels is the minimum required. One of the reasons i have such a huge solar array 945 watts and a huge battery bank 780 amphours is so i can run an air conditioner. The battery bank is required to be signifcantly larger in capacity without sunshine. The air conditioner is powered by 110 volts ac and cab be run off of battery power through the inverter for a period of about 6 8 hours 12 16 hours with optional two extra batteries before recharging is required by either idling the engine or plugging in.

A c for solar powered van dwelling. I went with a portable air conditioner called the haier 8 000 btu portable air conditioner. The three primary ways of getting power in a van are solar power a generator and plugging into shore power. I haven t seen any experienced reporting on the topic of running air conditioning on solar power so i figured it would be helpful for you all to hear what i did.
