After reading many reviews and watching a lot of videos, I chose this option for my first backup power station. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHypYDKHAN93Lp2RQpfvU_ksc70wJ00pt I was between this and a larger option that could power a wider range of items, but the price/size/capacity blend seemed right for this unit. Hasn't gotten a ton of use yet, but the build quality is solid and it charges fine via the Rockpals solar panel I purchased to pair with it. One thing to note is that the screen is optimized for a top down viewing angle, which makes sense, but this means it washes out at other angles - especially low angles. Not a huge deal, but perhaps a better option for the display could be used to provide wider viewing angles.
This is great !!! Only, if all homes requiring cooling could have this unit installed, then I am sure the power company would wonder what is happening !!! Long run and short run this is an instant power saver. Can't wait to see that unit you have at the end of this video.
Wow..! Very cool..! I recently installed a Pioneer 9k mini split in my RV. I've got 800w on the roof and 800w more on the ground connect to 4 100ah Lithium's. Victron controller and 2000w inverter. It's a low amp draw unit and about 860w to run it. I wish I had found this technology sooner. Thanx for making this video.
They also have an off-grid version of this that requires only 48v DC input voltage. So you can setup a small battery bank that will provide power during no sunlight hours. I've also seen another brand where their hybrid units require as low as 80V DC input voltage.
I can bet that with all this INFO for ppl to make a wiser purchasing decision, by having them know that this product exists, dem ago seh "OH BUT WE USE AC MOSTLY AT NIGHTS" Dem still gonna buy the ones that them fraid fi turn on in the day even at nights, the same ones weh a mek JPS richer.
What folks need to understand is that while the a/c is running for most of the day, it maintains the ambient temperature in the room by cooling the walls of the house, wether wood, drywall or concrete. In the nights, residual heat trapped within the external walls of the home especially concrete, requires more cooling energy from the a/c at nights, so it works out best if the a/c is constantly run during the day on “free” power to maintain a low temperature within the room, so in the night the unit uses much less grid power to cool down the room
Hey Eddy, Happy that you enjoyed the video. I actually dropped a new one yesterday, it's another version and the owner is using it as his cooler for his farm produce.
No problem... The average cost for them right now is USD $2,000 prices may change later. Feel free to use the link in my bio and communicate via whatsapp
yes boss love the video, this is what I'm looking for this summer, I see that it sells for around $3000 USD, how much does shipping and duty cost, could you make a video about ordering and getting it to Jamaica ? would really appreciate that...
Happy that you appreciate the content. I was just working on some invoices for a few persons in other Caribbean islands. Email/WhatsApp me, I'll get some information to you.
Please where did you buy the ZMNA hybrid solar air conditioner brand. I searched online in USA but couldn’t find it. I want to buy 6 of them … how much each? Thanks!
Yow.... This is the shit!!! This works for anyone who needs AC right through the day. Business places and Companies should be very happy about this solution.
Thank you. This is good for the daytime. What do you use in the evenings and nights? What is the inexpensive means to store the energy for use in the night. Still don't want to be on the grid. That would still be too much cost for electricity.
Thanks for watching. So, because the AC units have Wi-Fi capabilities and an app, you're able to power on remotely. While the sun is out, all that free energy can be used to power the unit, cool the hot space and keep the temperature down so that by night time you won't need to pull a lot from the grid. If you definitely don't want to be using grid power then it would be best to have a complete solar powered system installed and use really good inverter AC units (LG or Panasonic, etc)
At night grid, batteries or generator can be used. One alternative, that sorta of works is thermal mass. If you can run the AC during the day and cool down the house a lot, some of that cool will store into the night. What the house is made out of, (rock, dirt, wood), how big the house is, and how many people are in the house are all big factors. If a house has a lot of concrete in the house, the cool, will store better. If the house is a larger house with fewer people in it, it will take longer to heat up. One can also help stay cool by locating the bed lower in the room (hot air rises), tile floors can help a room feel colder. Some people have used large water tanks to hold the warm or cold of temperature swings. It is possible. I did the math once, if you had 2,688 0.5 liter water bottles ( 48 cases of 24 packs of drinking water bottles) you could store the energy of 5 hours of HVAC cooling. Building a house with really thick heavy walls is farily cheap, and this can store cool. piles of rocks and bricks can even be designed where air can get around them allowing better cooling and more air movement. There is an entire science of thermal mass that can be used to create a comfortable space. it is complex, costly and needs to be done the right way. There are other tricks like evaporative cooling that can work in some situations.
I have in my house General AC 2.5 ton running on electricity, can I change it to run solar during the day and on electricity at night. Please explain how and tell me what I need to buy for this setup. Thanks
I just uploaded a new video, feel free to check it out. To power that existing 2.5 ton air conditioner on solar power, you will need solar panels, solar inverter, charge controller and batteries for nighttime use. The Amp draw on a 2.5 ton AC is about 13.65A - 15A and it's 220v, so rated power is about (220×15) = 3,300W. So around 8-9 solar panels rated at 450W could be used to provide power to the AC unit only. You'll need at least a 4000W inverter, and at least a 10kWh battery 🔋
Thanks... Unfortunately no, I don't have the installation. I have another video working in where aspects of the installation was captured. Will be uploading soon.
No connection to battery on this version, it's connected to the grid as a backup. The DC 48V version is the version that will use batteries, however this verison operates with a voltage of at least 100Vdc via solar panels.
So the answer is as follows: The 12000 btu needs at least 930W, so we always setup an array that produces at least 1200W. That way if the sun goes in and out and the wattage drops to 950W it's still enough power that the units needs. When it goes below the 930W the unit still blows cool air, just not as cold. Let me know if that helps.
No it does not run 24 hours on solar/battery 🔋. These hybrid versions use solar during daylight hours and grid power during overcast conditions and during the nights
As well as you may operate off solar only and since it needs 930W doing it this way means that you would just over size the setup so that in the even of shading, you'll still have sufficient power from the modules. When the sun ☀ goes down the unit will only have the fan running until it goes into a sleep mode, then when the sun begins to rise and the solar modules start transferring energy the unit + compressor will turn back on.
Inverter AC units will need solar panels, inverter and charge controller. It would be as though you're providing solar power to all appliances in your home. So... Instead of connecting to just the AC units, you'd have the setup providing power to the main electrical panel in your home.
@@dythewitt We have a full off-grid version for that. I completed a setup yesterday (video coming soon. Grateful that you like this video btw). After completing the setup we did an open circuit test and got 215V. While on load, the voltage measured was 192V at 8:35am and 183V an hour later.
If you're thinking about converting the units that you already have to solar where the panels would plug directly to the outside unit as these Zamna Climate AC, then that wouldn't be possible. The Zamna Climate solar ready Mini-Splits are designed completely different from the typical mini split AC units.
@@RayonWhittaker "a?" so one battery with 48 volts or four 12 volts batteries in a series will work. Will those panels be able to charge the battery/ies or I need a controller and inverter like I'm setting up an off grid system?

Does it work at night???
It works at night but on grid power of the grid is connected, if not, it will sleep and start cooling again once the sun ☀ comes back out.
what happens if Grid is down? Will unit still work. If the sun goes in and out?
So the answer is as follows:
