I was talking to a bud the other day and we realized that hooking up AC to a solar panel might be a good idea. You usually only use AC if it's sunny and hot so the solar panel would be in perfect conditions. I don't think I've heard of people doing this, beyond people who just run their house on solar. I wonder if it would be viable or feasable to hook up the hvac to solar and a battery.
Considering AC is the largest electricity consumer in almost any home that has it by a large margin, if you are running your AC off solar then you might as well run the rest of your house off solar. It would be very little extra work.
