Abstract

Air conditioners are becoming more common and are a major strain on energy demands in tropical climate where air conditioning is used all year round. This work studied of using solar electricity produced by photovoltaic (PV) system to power air conditioners in Surabaya, Indonesia. Measurement tests were conducted on different photovoltaic systems. A grid connect system provides a better solution with the 800 W PV system providing 80 % of the 3.5 kWh load of the air conditioner, while the other 20 % coming from the grid during periods of low irradiation. With the grid-connected system, the PV panel's production does not need to match the consumption of the air conditioner, although a smaller PV array will mean a smaller percentage of the load will be covered by PV
