Cool your home by harnessing the sun's energy.

A hybrid solar mini split pulls DC power straight from your roof to run the compressor, and falls back to grid power at night or on cloudy days. No batteries required.

Hybrid Solar Air Conditioner and Heat Pump

One system that heats and cools your home, sourced and specced for Arizona heat: a full DC inverter mini split built to run on solar first and grid power second.

No permit. No utility inspection. One-day install.

The solar panels wire straight into the air conditioner, not into your home's electrical panel or the utility grid — there's no back-feed, so there's nothing for the utility or the building department to inspect or permit. That's what lets our crew get a full hybrid system installed in a single day. And for about the same price as a standalone 3 kilowatt solar system for your home, you get the solar panels and the air conditioning system together.

Certified, not just advertised

Mini split air conditioners are easy to find on overseas marketplaces. Verifying one is actually safe to install and performs the way the listing claims is harder — here's what backs the system we sell.

Not every unit on a marketplace listing has been safety-tested, and not every published efficiency number has been checked by anyone besides the factory selling it. The hybrid solar mini split we install is AHRI Certified and ETL Listed — third-party verification that it performs the way it's advertised and is safe to install in a U.S. home.

AHRI Certified means the unit's cooling capacity, SEER2, and EER2 ratings have been verified by independent, third-party testing through the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute — not just claimed by the manufacturer. The certificate is on file in AHRI's public directory under reference number 216021340.

ETL Listed (tested by Intertek, a nationally recognized testing lab) means the unit has passed the same electrical and fire-safety standards — UL 60335-1 and 60335-2-40, plus the Canadian CSA equivalents — that building departments and electrical inspectors check for before signing off on a permit. That's the difference between a system your inspector will approve and one that could get flagged.

What it looks like in your home

The indoor unit mounts high on a wall and stays out of the way — here are a few common placement options.

Indoor unit mounted on a living room wall above a sofa
Mounted above the main seating wall
Indoor unit mounted above a sliding patio door
Mounted above a patio door or window wall
Indoor unit mounted on a wall above a couch, with an arrow pointing to the unit
Low wall mount, centered over seating

And here's the outdoor unit in place — on a rooftop or on the ground, whichever suits your home.

Outdoor unit mounted on a ground pad beside a house
Ground-mounted on a concrete pad
Outdoor unit mounted on a flat rooftop next to solar panels
Rooftop-mounted alongside the panels
Outdoor unit mounted on an apartment rooftop next to tilted solar panels
Rooftop-mounted, angled panel array
Outdoor unit mounted on a house rooftop surrounded by solar panels
Rooftop-mounted, flush with the panel field

The outdoor unit can go on the rooftop or on the ground, depending on what location works best for your home.

Assembled in San Antonio, Texas

Mission Solar puts its panels together at its own Texas facility instead of importing finished modules — worth knowing if you care where your equipment comes from. The panels meet Buy American Act compliance, which matters if you're working on a government or federally funded project, and every panel carries a 25-year power warranty backing it up.

Exact panel count and roof layout are confirmed at your site visit based on available roof space and shading.

How it installs

Three stages, whether we're doing the work or you are.

01

Mount the panels

Roof survey, rail layout, and panel mounting sized to your 3kW array.

Video coming soon
02

Install the indoor unit and outdoor unit for the hybrid mini split

Installation of the indoor evaporator wall-mounted unit, installation of the outdoor condensing unit, connection of the refrigerant lines, installation of the condensate drain line, leak testing, and charging of the refrigerant lines.

Video coming soon
03

Connect to the home's utility power source

The unit requires a 20-amp, 220-volt single phase electrical circuit run from the main electrical panel to the hybrid solar air conditioning unit, so it can operate when there is no solar power.
