Solar-Hybrid Air Conditioning for Tiny Homes & ADUs
A Photon AC solar-hybrid mini split cools a tiny home, ADU, or garage on its own rooftop solar by day and manages its grid draw so the dwelling can run on a much smaller electrical service — often avoiding a $3,000–$6,000+ main-panel upgrade. Using a listed energy-management system under NEC 2023 §220.70, the A/C and other heavy loads never draw at the same moment, allowing a 30-amp feed to do the work of 50. A 12,000 BTU unit fits most 300–650 sq ft spaces, runs on about five rooftop panels with no batteries, keeps cooling during daytime outages, and is backed by a 10-year warranty.
