Devsol Solar Hybrid AC - Run AC on Solar + Grid
Devsol solar hybrid air conditioners are priced from Rs 42,200 to Rs 56,158 (Devsol MRP incl. GST). Devsol manufactures these units - the AC has a built-in MPPT controller and DC inverter that allows it to run directly on solar panels during the day, switching to grid power at night or when solar is unavailable.
Devsol sells through its dealer network. Prices are Devsol MRP incl. GST; contact a dealer for availability.
Models and Prices
| Model | Key Specs | Warranty | Devsol MRP (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Devsol 1X AI Split Solar AC | 1 Ton, 5 Star, Split, R32 refrigerant, AI technology, copper condenser | 1 year comprehensive, 5 years on compressor | Rs 42,200 |

What the Devsol price covers: The prices above are for the AC unit only. Solar panels, mounting structure, DC cables and installation are not included. A 1-ton solar hybrid AC typically requires 3 Devsol solar panels (590W to 740W models available, Rs 11,025 to Rs 20,979 per panel at Devsol MRP), plus mounting and installation. Total system cost will be higher than the AC unit price alone. Contact a Devsol dealer for a full system quotation.
How a Solar Hybrid AC Differs from a Standard AC Bundled with Panels
Most solar AC systems in the market bundle a standard AC with an external solar inverter and panels. Devsol manufactures the AC unit itself with a built-in MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller and DC inverter. This means:
- The AC unit receives solar DC power directly - no external solar inverter is needed for the AC to run on solar
- The built-in MPPT controller optimises solar power input automatically
- The DC inverter compressor adjusts speed based on cooling load, reducing power consumption
- The unit switches between solar and grid power automatically
A standard AC bundled with panels requires a separate solar inverter to convert DC to AC before the AC can use it. The Devsol hybrid AC takes DC directly from the panels.
How Many Panels Does a 1 Ton Solar AC Need?
| Model | Solar Input | Panels Needed (590W-740W) | Connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nx1x (Solar AC) | DC 145-280V, max 10A | 3 panels | In series |
| Nx2x (Solar Hybrid AC) | DC 145-280V, max 10A | 3-4 panels | In series |
The panels should be 590W to 740W (Devsol models available). The exact number depends on the model and the available sunlight in your location. A qualified installer should confirm the panel count and wiring for your specific installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of a Devsol solar hybrid AC?
Devsol solar hybrid AC prices are Rs 42,200 for the 1X AI Split Solar AC and Rs 56,158 for the 1X AI Split Solar Hybrid AC (Devsol MRP incl. GST). These prices are for the AC unit only; solar panels, mounting and installation are additional. The hybrid model includes a DC inverter that runs on both solar and grid power.
How does a solar hybrid AC differ from a normal AC?
A Devsol solar hybrid AC has a built-in MPPT controller and DC inverter that allows it to run directly on solar panels during the day. A normal AC runs only on grid electricity. The Devsol hybrid AC also works on grid power at night or when solar is unavailable.
How many solar panels does a 1 ton solar AC need?
A Devsol 1 ton solar hybrid AC needs 3 Devsol solar panels (590W to 740W models available) for the Nx1x model, or 3-4 panels for the Nx2x model, connected in series. The exact number depends on the model and panel wattage.
What is the difference between Devsol solar AC and bundled solar AC systems?
Devsol manufactures the AC unit itself - it is not a standard AC bundled with external solar panels. The Devsol solar hybrid AC has a built-in MPPT controller and DC inverter designed to run on solar power directly. Most bundled systems pair a regular AC with an external solar inverter and panels.
Can a Devsol solar AC run without electricity?
Yes. During daytime with adequate sunlight, a Devsol solar hybrid AC runs directly on solar power without grid electricity. At night or on cloudy days, it switches to grid power automatically.
What warranty comes with a Devsol solar AC?
1 year comprehensive warranty on the complete unit and 5 years on the compressor. Written terms apply.
Where is the Devsol solar AC manufactured?
Devsol solar hybrid ACs are manufactured in India by Devsol Energy Pvt Ltd. The units are India-repairable and do not depend on imported replacement units.
