technology :: Solar Air Conditioning -greencore

It's about time! The day has come for solar powered Air Conditioning. Thanks to GreenCore.

It's not a pretty package, but it sure is a breath of fresh (uh...COOL) air! GreenCore offers a guilt free alternative to our standard energy hogging air conditioning systems which doesn't contribute to green house emissions and global warming. And talk about saving money on today's high energy bills? This is how to do it!
GreenCore's solar powered DC air conditioner combines the most efficient photovoltaic technology with DC engineered air conditioning innovation to provide green climate control and efficiently operates completely grid-free or as a hybrid air conditioning unit. The Greencore 10200 comes in two models: a fixed one, and a mobile version (which runs on 2 or 4 batteries). Using a single 170-watt solar panel, it can keep a 600 square-foot room cool. 600 sq feet is about the size of a modular classroom, an office or retail shop, a small mobile home, a single or double apartment, military tents etc. The applications are endless! And the cool thing about solar a/c is that when do we need air conditioning? When the hot sun is out of course. Makes sense doesn't it?



To find out more about this awesome technology check out the GreenCore Air website. Right now, two high-profile clients of Greencore are McDonald's and the US Navy. Both of them are testing the solar air conditioner units.

It's about time air conditioning went green. It's JUST COOL!

IT'S HOT

Hot weather has never been a favorite of mine except in my teen years when we would slather ourselves with baby oil and iodine and bake in the backyard. No sunscreen back then and we even made reflectors from tinfoil and cardboard to quadruple the rays of the sun! What? Were we CRAZY???! But we didn't know any better and the ozone layer was still a thick blanket of protection. And heck, we didn't even know what an ozone layer was! Back in those days wouldnt my friends and I have killed for this ingenious SUN TENT that rotated with the sun. Our golden tans would be so even and effortless. And the envy of everyone.

Combine that with todays new fangled portable air conditioning units and we'd have the summer made.

So finally it has arrived. They told us it would but I was in my weather denial mode. After all this has been the the strangest spring and it seems the weatherman hasn't once gotten it right. So, yup, it's here. That dreaded HEAT WAVE . Right now it is 93 degrees with no sign of letting up. So I'm at the computer surfing for another air conditioner. I especially like these new portable ones that roll from room to room. They are plain and simple in design so will go with any interior, plus they need no window installation. Highly efficient they even take humidity out of the air to make it seem even cooler.
