Project Overview
100% Off-Grid Solar AC Installation at Goodman Crest
In a significant step toward sustainable living, we recently completed a fascinating **100% off-grid solar air conditioning installation** at a beautiful 3.5-storey terrace house in the Goodman Crest cluster housing at 29 Goodman Road.
This project showcases the power and viability of completely independent, solar-powered climate control. We installed two high-efficiency **9000 BTU Reliance Solar DC Aircon units**: one in the master bedroom and a second in the living room.
To ensure uninterrupted cooling, even during low sunlight or at night, the system utilizes **battery banks** to completely replace the grid supply. This setup allows the client to enjoy comfortable, zero-emission climate control around the clock, demonstrating the a complete shift away from conventional energy sources for air conditioning.
The journey began with an order for a **Reliance 100% Solar off grid Air Conditioner**, a system specifically designed for off-grid operation. This technology directly utilizes **DC power** generated by solar panels, minimizing energy loss through conversion and making it ideal for stand-alone power solutions.
The Battery Bank & MPPT Controller
A crucial element of this installation was the **battery bank**, strategically housed at 29 Goodman Road, Goodman Crest. This bank acts as the energy reservoir, storing the solar power harvested during the day to ensure uninterrupted air conditioning, even when the sun isn’t shining. Complementing the battery bank is the **MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller**. This intelligent device plays a vital role in maximizing the efficiency of the solar power system, ensuring the batteries are charged effectively and efficiently.
Living Room Fancoil in Operation
The heart of the cooling system is the **9000 BTU fancoil unit**, installed in the main living room. During our visit, it was a pleasure to witness this unit in full operation, providing a comfortable and cool environment powered entirely by the harnessed solar energy. The quiet and efficient performance of the Reliance Solar DC Aircon truly highlighted the potential of this technology.
Solar Panels on the Glass Awning
A key visual aspect of the installation was the placement of the **solar panels on the client’s glass awning**. This innovative approach not only utilizes available space effectively but also integrates the solar energy generation seamlessly into the architectural design of the house. The installation required careful consideration of the awning’s structure and orientation to ensure optimal sunlight capture.
This 100% off-grid solar air conditioning installation in Goodman Crest serves as a compelling example of how homeowners can achieve energy independence and reduce their environmental footprint. By harnessing the power of the sun and utilizing efficient DC technology, this project demonstrates a pathway towards a more sustainable and self-sufficient future for residential cooling.
