A numerical study was carried out to assess the practicality of running inverter air conditioner directly on photovoltaic cells in the climatic conditions of Iraq. The research aims to assess the energy consumption and efficiency Regarding the solar air conditioning system in various weather conditions and operational situations. The study employs a computational model to replicate the system's behavior and enhance its performance. Where solar panels with a capacity of 570 watts the number of solar panels4 were used, the number of batteries 2, and inverter capacity 3.5 kw , the number of panels, and the amount of energy consumed during different time periods and for different air conditioner loads were used, such as one ton, one quarter ton, one half ton, and two tons. Solar panels' lifespan is determined by the extremes in temperature they are exposed to, whereas their output capacity is determined by the amount of light radiation they receive. The amount of batteries, the number of panels, and the kind of inverter required are all determined numerically in this study. The aim of the study was to estimate the efficiency of the air conditioning system, which It runs on solar energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
