LG Electronics unveils a new eco-friendly residential air conditioner that draws its energy from the sun!



Koreans are getting their first taste of a new solar-powered air conditioner. It’s known as model F-Q232LASS, and it’s the brainchild of LG Electronics. The AC unit has a solar cell module that is attached to the top of the outdoor unit, which produces up to 70 watts of power per hour. This is enough power to keep the AC going and to run the unit’s purification process. That means Korean homeowners are getting clean, purified air, and they’re saving huge dollars on their energy bill at the same time!

According to an article in Infibeam.com, “LG’s hybrid air conditioner helps reduce approximately 212 kg of carbon dioxide over 10 years, equivalent to growing 780 pine trees over the same period.” Now who wouldn’t want a unit like this?

Kudos to the Koreans and to LG for designing this eco-friendly AC unit. I hope that the rest of the world will get a chance to reap the benefits of model F-Q232LASS!
