Any energy from solar going to AC means solar energy not going to the rest of the house.

Dude climate change demands these. Have them powered by solar panels and its a win/win

solar produces more in the summer, when an AC is more needed

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.

And your point is?

Better building and urbanism should be the preferred solution. And solar panels can and should be installed even without AC

I agree with you, we should be building with higher urban density. Even in the country, build apartment blocks in the middle of farmland that can be efficiently heated or cooled. And the inhabitants harvest their own food in the vicinity instead of relying on imports. The solution isn’t for individuals to get solar to power their AC, it’s still way too many resources and embedded energy. A little social engineering, mild gulagification and we could easily solve climate change.
But that is no way to attain or maintain power or wealth, so we won’t be doing any of that shit. You better read some Machiavelli you fool! How dare you suggest things like that here? 🤭 🫠 🥵 👍

They might have meant that. Americans using climate change to bully them to install a mini split.
