What is a 'solar ready' mini split?
Simply put, a solar-ready (or AC/DC hybrid) mini-split is an air conditioning heat pump that allows plug-in solar.
No Batteries, No Mess
Traditional solar setups require heavy batteries, complex voltage regulators, and expensive inverters. A solar-ready unit like Airspool allows you to click your solar panels directly into the outside unit using standard MC4 connectors.
How it Works
- Prioritization: The unit always uses energy from the sun first.
- Hybrid Support: If a cloud passes by or it becomes nighttime, the unit seamlessly pulls from the grid to maintain your comfort.
- No Power Surges: These units use variable-speed compressors that avoid the massive "inrush" current of traditional ACs, allowing them to run on as little as 1,000 watts of solar.
Why is this New?
This technology has been perfected over the last 5 years into the reliable, "solar-ready" systems we offer today.
By running for free when it’s sunny and maintaining peak efficiency when it’s not, a solar-ready mini-split typically pays for itself faster than almost any other home improvement.
