Solar hot water systems are much more widespread at this time, but don't count out solar air conditioning as a viable means of home cooling in the near future as technology and new home designs advance. It may seem a bit strange to use solar heat to cool your home, but such is the awesome power of our planet's greatest and most abundant resource: the sun. Already there are a number of home applications for solar cooling: some active, some passive.
There are two main types of active systems for today's homes -- solar desiccant and solar absorption cooling, as well as solar powered ventilation and solar "swamp coolers," all of which you can learn about in detail right here in our Solar Library.
Home design methods include solar cooling towers and passive solar ventilation. Easier and less cost-inhibitive resources -- many already available at your local building supply store -- include solar attic fans and solar gable fans. The existing and potential benefits of solar air conditioning and ventilation are paramount, including the always-appealing benefit of low-cost heating and cooling -- the number one energy consumer in today's households.
So with home energy savings and a cleaner planet in mind, we offer you our Solar Air Conditioning Library as a resource for all your future home cooling considerations. Enjoy!

Fred and Kevin are the best! The say what they are going to do and then do it!
I looked at several other installers, but none of them were as professional as Astrum. Also, the upfront investment that Astrum Solar puts in to make it affordable to customers was a big part of my decision. Working with Astrum Solar was a very customer-friendly experience. They were very attentive and they went out of their way to make sure the process was stress-free for us.
