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!

I am very happy with the system, very good people & would recommend them to anyone.
REgrid did a wonderful job for me. The entire experience went smoother than I could have imagined. I meet with many solar contractors, and right from the start, REgrid left me with the best impression. They are very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and didn’t pressure me in any way. They carefully listened to what I wanted, and delivered just that. A few days after the project was completed, I received some additional items in the mail that I was not expecting: amongst them were a booklet about solar and a helpful guide about understanding and utilizing solar. I thought that was very nice of them. They take great pride in what they do and are dedicated to their client’s fulfillment. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with the final results, and I am pleased with my decision to go with REgrid. I believe none of the other companies would have been as agreeable to work with. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend REgrid. In fact, it would be my pleasure to do so.
