Solar-powered air conditioner

Juniper Foo | Mar 23, 2007

Anything that runs off solar power and keeps our planet alive another day, it gets our vote. Increased use of air conditioners has been lamblasted for producing more greenhouse gas. SolCool's Millennia 4.0 works around that by powering itself on solar energy. Onboard batteries last up to 24 hours between charge cycles. If there's a need to go the whole green mile, this can even be attached to an Aquacell bottled water cooler system to collect the condensation for filtered drinking water. There's only one word for this: Kewl!
