I purchased this generator a month or so ago. It looks to be a very well made high quality unit. A word of caution. Powermate is not part of the Colman company. Powermate is no longer in business, so there is no manufacture support for this unit.
A solar-powered air conditioner is an interesting invention. If you think about it, you are using the sun to power your air conditioner, and in turn you are contributing less to global warming. Essentially, you are using the sun to keep things cool. There are a few companies, globally that are working on developing solar-powered air conditioning units that place a lower demand on energy supplies and are eco-friendly.
American company, GreenCore Air released such an air conditioner that is powered by a 170 watt solar panel. It can cool a large room, and runs off a battery bank when the sun isn't shining. The portable version of this environmentally friendly air conditioner comes on wheels so you can easily move it around the house. Macdonald's in the US and the US Navy have invested in some of these air conditioners for a trial run.
Rotartica, a Spanish company, has developed a similar small-scale solar air-conditioning unit. Rotartica has used the latest technology to combine evacuated tube thermal collectors with a water-heated absorption chiller. The unit takes in solar- heated water and releases cool air. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the capabilities to run at night but it will cool a room on hot days without the need to tap into electricity supplies that are under strain on these hot days.
Another American invention, Solcool Millennium can run on solar panels, a wall socket or even batteries. Even if they use coal-powered electricity, they are still energy efficient. Solcool's latest units also have attachments for water purification. Giving the reason for developing these solar-powered units, Roger Pruitt, president of Solcool said, "Air conditioning takes the biggest load on the power grid. We're trying to use small PV (photovoltaic solar) cells and equip them with 18,000 BTUs (a unit of energy) of air conditioning". The unit operates at 500watts which is far less power than other units use.
The development of solar-powered air conditioning units has been in the pipeline for awhile. The Chinese company, Broad, for example, started installing their units in 2006. Air conditioners are essential in most homes but they contribute to pollution and high energy bills. If solar power is effectively developed, it can be used for all heating and cooling systems in homes and businesses, and costs would be cut in the long run.
