Where Solar AC Works—and Why That’s Good News

The demand for air conditioning is forecasted to surge from 1.6 billion units in 2018 to 5.6 billion units by 2050.

The "Death Spiral" Risk

If all 5.6 billion of those units are powered by burning coal and gas, we risk a "death spiral"—cooling our homes while heating up the planet, thus requiring even more cooling.

The Ray of Hope

Fortunately, the biggest growth in AC demand is in sun-drenched regions like India, Mexico, Brazil, and Indonesia. These are the exact places where solar air conditioning is most effective.

By utilizing the very sun that creates the heat to provide the cooling, we can break the cycle and provide sustainable comfort to the billions of people who will soon need it.
