Our Products
Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning & Heat Pumps S
Solar ACDC's Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning systems offer the best of both worlds: efficient cooling with the flexibility of off-grid and on-grid operation. Designed to leverage solar energy, our hybrid air conditioners ensure comfort while minimizing electricity bills and environmental impact.
Solar Hybrid Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Solar ACDC's solar heat pump hot water systems combine air-source heat pump technology with solar integration to deliver energy-efficient hot water year-round. These units extract heat from ambient air and use solar power when available, reducing electricity use without sacrificing performance.
Solar Hybrid Swimming Pool Heat Pump
Our pool heat pumps are designed to maintain temperatures while minimising energy consumption. These systems can operate fully on solar power, reducing your reliance on the grid and providing a sustainable solution to pool maintenance.
First in the world!
The DualSun panel was the first hybrid panel in the world to obtain the new “hybrid solar” Solar Keymark certification in late 2013. All DualSun panels are Solar Keymark and IEC certified, and thus have passed a number of rigorous tests, most notably:
- HAIL RESISTANCE : the panel passed the Swiss RG4 test standard and thus can resist the projection of hailstones up to 7.5cm in diameter, weighing 203g with a speed of 143 km/h.
- WIND RESISTANCE : a low-pressure of 2400 Pa, the equivalent of a 130 km/h wind applied to the panel for one hour.
- SNOW RESISTANCE : a pressure of 5400 Pa, the equivalent of 6 meters of snow applied to the panel for one hour.
- THERMAL CYCLING : the module is exposed to 200 temperature cycles, with each cycle going from -40°C to 85°C over a 6-hour period.
- DAMP HEAT : the module is exposed to extreme conditions (85°C and 85% relative humidity) for 1000 hours.
Dual Heat
The backside of the DualSun Spring panel is composed of a polypropylene heat exchanger protected by 3 international patents. The water that circulates through the exchanger is warmed by the heat dissipated from the photovoltaic cells and can reach temperatures up to 70°C.
The heated water can then be used for different heating needs of the building : domestic hot water, pool heating, and even space heating with a combined system.
Did You Know
Our Solar Air Conditioners are a high quality, technically advanced solution for power hungry air conditioners.
Our Solar Air Conditioners use dedicated photovoltaic solar panels to power the units, since they are fully DC, they can accept direct raw variable DC power from the panels even when there is no grid power! That’s right if you disconnect the grid power, they will work during daylight hours on their own, no need to spend huge dollars on batteries, inverters, charge controllers etc….
Actually, they have an auto start function turning them on when there is enough power in the morning and then turn themselves off in the afternoon once there is insufficient sunlight.
Most of our off grid customers use Hybrids as they can use the air con all day to keep cool or warm and if they need it at night they can flick a switch and use their existing power system to run it at night. This way they are guaranteed to not deplete their batteries from the air con while it runs during the day. The amount of night operation will depend on the size of their existing power system. Alternatively, simply keep the power connected so that it always prioritises the solar panel power first and adds what it needs if the solar power is insufficient.
