Anon has been bullied

Any energy from solar going to AC means solar energy not going to the rest of the house.
Unless you've got a battery to charge, or are otherwise constantly running something that takes more than a solar panel generates, most of it probably isn't going to the rest of the house anyway.

Much of Europe is getting hotter. AC is literally a life-saving technology on extremely hot days. No, it's not mere "comfort". Old people, in particular, are at high risk.
And it's not like Europe is completely blameless when it comes to global warming, either.
americans have bullied me into installing this
(not so) cool story bro.

I know it doesn't require much land, but there isn't any land available in population dense areas. Roof installations would be required for row houses and situations like that.
Read the comments above mine. FFS, they're thinking AC units require "A sprawling yard" or rural houses with lots of land. If ya got 1sq/m, you got room.

If you don't have air conditioning, you live in Alaska or you're just crazy.

Nah, that's the antenna to watch TV for the TV watching license.
I have heard that they recently passed a bill for having a toaster license you have to use to use your own damn toaster.
I heard about the TV Watching License from my boyfriend the other day. I honestly thought he was joking, what a way to find out he wasn't.

edit : yes you are right and it is a problem. But I do not know if AC everywhere is the solution. Building viable living spaces and changing our way of life probably is.

Yeah fuck my neighbour let's flood his windows with more heat, I'm cool

“In the European region, heat stress is the leading cause of climate-related death in the region,” he said. “Temperature extremes such as those we’re experiencing at the moment are really exacerbating chronic conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebro-vascular diseases, mental health and diabetes-related conditions. The extreme heat that we’re experiencing is a particular problem for elderly people, especially those living alone. It can also place an additional burden on pregnant women.”

On 22 July 2024, the daily global average temperature reached a new record high of 17.16°C, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. On 23 July, the preliminary value was 17.15°C. On 21 July, the temperature record was 17.09°C. All three days were warmer than the previous record of 17.08°C, set only last year on 6 July 2023.
This is a real and growing problem. Stop sticking your head in the sand.

Yes sorry I was just snarky because finally AC globally still heats the world, so to keep our elders alive let's burn the world's babies

It actually adds to the updraft increasing the windows effectiveness.

Is that a European roof? I haven't seen corrugated iron anywhere there, but then again, I haven't been everywhere in Europe.

It looks to be corrugated iron. Corrugated iron would be a really weird roofing material in the UK, as it's terrible for insulation. Also if he was from the UK it would be on the news because no one has air conditioning. It's really hard to even find someone who knows how to install it.
It can't be anywhere in southern Europe because they'd already have air conditioning, could be France or Germany though they tend not to have aircon by default.
I meant the roofing in the background.

Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.
I mean, you could turn it on it's side if the pump was still at lowest point and you moved/turned the lines and radiator to the proper positions. Not sure how feasible that is. If the cooling loops, fluid reservoirs, and radiators were reconfigurable for that purpose, it would tap into a new market for the manufacturer that pulled it off.

What would be the alternative?
The energy used by a window AC unit would be easily offset by a single 300W solar panel (even on hot days, they don't run 100% of the time). They tend to be needed most on sunny days, so that's not a problem for solar.
