Frequently asked questions
1. Can solar panels handle an air conditioner?
Yes, solar panels can absolutely handle an air conditioner, but it comes down to the size and capacity of your solar setup. AC units use a fair amount of power, especially on those hot summer days, so having enough panels to cover the demand is key. Generally, if your solar system is well-sized, it should be able to support your AC along with other household appliances, especially if you’ve got a few extra panels in the mix.
2. Do electricians wire in solar panels?
Yes, they do! Licensed electricians are essential for wiring in solar panels safely and effectively. A proper installation by a qualified electrician ensures everything works seamlessly with your home’s electrical system and meets Australian standards. At TMEC Services, our experienced electricians take care of the entire setup for you, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
3. How do you run an AC with solar panels?
4. How many solar panels are required to run an air conditioner?
The number of solar panels you need for an air conditioner depends on a few things, like the size of your AC and how much sunlight you get. For a typical split-system AC, you might need around 6 to 8 panels, but it can vary depending on the power usage and the efficiency of the panels. If you’ve got multiple air conditioners or a larger unit, you’ll likely need more. For tailored advice, TMEC Services can work with you to figure out the best setup based on your needs.
