what’s the outlay for such a system? a typical one?
Cheaper than running AC without it.
Talking about running air conditioners, people don’t realize what happens during a snowstorm. Those snow plows, they either run or idle 24/7 until the storm is over. Every other vehicle is also running or idling. This could go on for 3 to 4 days straight. When I worked for the roadway, I never turned my vehicle off. It idled all 8 hours if I wasn’t doing anything. All of these vehicles are either running, or idling 24/7.
yeah after it “pays for itself” huh?
not counting the continuing maintenance
It’s 102 outside right now. Nobody touches my air conditioner. This is more important than foreign policy or cultural issues.

$10 for a new AC system? What does that consist of? A big block of ice? 
Some of you cry like it’s the end of the world any time you even start to glisten, and it really shows.
It’s 78 here today … and I’m roasting. 
I was roasting earlier in the 96º Missouri summer humidity, but only because I was laying down on a towel out on the back deck without a cloud in sight. After about an hour, I couldn’t take it anymore and hopped in the 15,000 gallon pool to cool off in the 92º water.
It was rough. I barely made it through the day. lol

Very true. As a child, I lived in a house built in 1917. It had very high ceilings and an attic fan built into it. My current house has much less interior space due to lower ceilings and a heating and cooling system.
We also had two screened in porches back then, where you could sleep in the hottest nights.

A block of ice with a 10 dollar fan behind it.

I bought my solar heat pump with panels, wire, the whole setup for $3,300 last October I believe…
Me and a buddy installed it.
interesting. does that include all the batteries, inverters, switches, relays…? also what’s the max power loading?
is it completely “off grid?”
as an engineer these systems intrigue me and would be an interesting project. but practically speaking the electric company already provides all this with a couple of wires, cleanly and in many cases with 0 emissions.
