During the summer when there is a lot of solar radiation, the direct 1100V power generated by the solar cell 17 is transferred to the DC/D in the adapter 13.
C) After being converted into DC 280V (7) power by the inverter 16, it is input to the inverter 7 via the connection 18, converted to AC, and completely supplied to the compressor 2, and the DC 280V (7) power is
A part of the electric power of v is input to the controller 8 via the power line 19, and the output from the controller 8 is supplied to the inverter 7, the four-way valve 3, the refrigerant pressure reducer 5, the outdoor blower 9, and the indoor blower 11, respectively. The inverter 7 adjusts the operating frequency of the compressor 2 according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature, and appropriately controls the valve opening of the refrigerant pressure reducer 5, which is an electric expansion valve. Therefore, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 passes sequentially through the four-way valve 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the refrigerant pressure reducer 5, the indoor heat exchanger 10, and the four-way valve 3, which are set to the solid state, and returns to the compressor 2. A cooling cycle is formed, and the indoor heat exchanger 4 acts as a condenser and the indoor heat exchanger 6 acts as an evaporator, thereby cooling the room.

Further, when the amount of solar radiation is low and the output voltage of the solar cell 12 is low, the power shortage is automatically covered by the commercial power source 12. That is, when the power generated by the solar cell 17 is sufficiently large, the input terminal of the inverter 7 is at least 280V and is higher than the output of the commercial power supply 12 of 280V (100VX2X, /T), so the power of the commercial power supply 12 is not output from the rectifier 6. However, when the amount of solar radiation decreases and the output of the solar cell 17 decreases and the input terminal of the inverter 7 becomes 280V or less, the power of the commercial power supply 12 is output from the rectifier 6 by the difference from the output of the commercial power supply 12 of 280V.

Therefore, the power of the solar cell 17 that has been output from the DC/DC converter 16 and the power of the commercial power source 12 that has been output from the rectifier 6 are fully supplied to the inverter 7 and controller 8, and the cooling operation is performed as described above. The room is cooled.

In addition, in winter, since the amount of solar radiation is lower than in summer, the power from both the solar cells 17 and the commercial power source 12 is supplied to the inverter 7 and controller 8 in the same manner as described above, and the compressor 2 is driven completely. The four-way valve 3 is set to the broken line state by the output from the controller 8, and the outdoor blower 9, indoor blower 11, and refrigerant pressure reducer 5 are driven in the same way as during cooling operation. Therefore,
The refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 passes through the four-way valve 3 - the indoor heat exchanger 10 - the refrigerant pressure reducer 5 - the outdoor heat exchanger 4 - the four-way valve 3 in order, and returns to the compressor 2 to complete the heating cycle, and the indoor heat is returned to the compressor 2. The exchanger 10 acts as a condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger 4 acts as an evaporator, so that the room is heated.

Also, when a customer purchases an air conditioner, if they cannot afford to purchase solar cells at the same time, they can first purchase only the air conditioner and run it on commercial power, and then when they have the time, they can install the solar cells and adapter. Since customers can buy more, it is easier for customers to buy, and it can greatly contribute to the spread of the energy saving boom using solar energy.
