units Project Overview: The project is located in Melbourne, Australia, and is a home roof project. The STC policy of Australia is limited to the local rooftop photovoltaic projects within 5KW, and the excess is not allowed to be connected to the grid. However, for most households, 5KW photovoltaic power generation can not meet daily electricity consumption. This is because most of the local houses are relatively large. The use of air conditioning in summer and floor heating in winter results in large electricity consumption. The panels of the solar air-conditioning system will not occupy local restrictions on solar installation capacity, and users can still receive subsidies. The system is designed with 2 air conditioners and 8pcs 300W solar panels, and the solar power is increased by 30% to meet the condition that the air conditioner can continue to work from 7:30 in the morning to 5:00 in the morning without being connected to the mains. Compared with conventional air conditioners, the power saving of solar air conditioners is close to 85%. According to local electricity prices, the payback period of the system investment is about 30 months.
