HotSpot Energy Solar Air Conditioners

Hotspot Energy: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions for Efficient Cooling

Imagine tapping into an energy source that's eco-friendly, doesn't rely on fossil fuels, and is readily available without the need for transportation or storage. This energy source is right under our noses, and it's the heat we release into the atmosphere when using air conditioners or refrigeration systems. Hotspot Energy has been harnessing this abundant resource since 2007, providing innovative HVAC, solar, and heat recovery solutions that save both energy and money.

Our cutting-edge Hotspot Energy products primarily focus on enhancing air conditioning efficiency, heat recovery, and solar power utilization. We also proudly offer next-generation LED lighting to help customers further reduce their energy bills.

Revolutionize Your Cooling Experience with Hotspot Energy's Solar Air Conditioner

In 2006, Hotspot Energy invented the DC solar air conditioner, essentially creating the solar AC industry. Our third-generation Solar Air Conditioner, the ACDC12, is a one-ton solar AC heat pump that achieves a remarkable SEER 35 rating when connected to two solar panels. This efficient system can provide up to 80% savings on daytime air conditioning or heating costs.

Apart from our solar air conditioner solutions, we have been known for our special Titanium heat recovery heat exchangers, heat recovery valves, and controls that convert AC systems to geothermal technology for pool heating. Our Titanium heat exchanger pool heat recovery units can heat pools without additional energy, offering a free pool heating system.

Since 2016, Hotspot Energy has been the master distributor in the US for Chiltrix air-to-water heat pumps, which boast record-setting AHRI-certified efficiency.

Make the most of the summer season and keep your home comfortable with Hotspot Energy's Solar Air Conditioners. Harness the power of solar energy and run your Solar Air Conditioner for free all day. Discover our range of sustainable cooling solutions here.

How it Works:

HotSpot Energy Solar AirConditioner FAQ:

How does the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C air conditioner function?

The Hotspot Energy ACDC12C works like other ultra-high-SEER mini-split heat pumps but is designed to accept solar power directly from standard solar panels. It can operate solely on solar energy when there is ample sunlight. For optimal performance at full capacity, during cloudy days, or nighttime operation, an optional grid-power AC connection is advised.

Is a main power connection required for the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C?

No, the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C can run solely on solar power during sunny hours. However, an AC power source is suggested for cloudy days or nighttime use. This power source can come from utility power, an inverter, or a sine-wave quality generator.

What is the power consumption of the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C?

As a certified SEER 22 system, the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C consumes minimal power, typically around 600 watts in total.

What is the installation process for the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C?

The Hotspot Energy ACDC12C installs just like a regular mini-split air conditioner, with the added step of connecting the solar panels. In the USA, an EPA license is required to handle R410a, so it is recommended to hire a licensed HVAC technician to complete at least the final portion of the installation.

Does the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C require batteries?

No, the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C does not need batteries. Any deficit in solar power, such as during nighttime, is compensated for by drawing power from the standard AC power supply.

Is the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C certified for safety and performance?

Yes, the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C has undergone extensive testing and is listed by ETL/UL 60335.

What is the Sensible Heat Fraction (SHF) for the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C?

SHF refers to the ratio of sensible heat removal to latent heat removal (dehumidification) in cooling mode. For the Hotspot Energy ACDC12C, the average data in cooling mode is: Sensible heat (W) 2524.2 and Latent heat (W) 705.4. In heating mode, the SHF is always 100% sensible.
