Do you need to buy solar panels to go with this unit?

Not unless you want to. You can charge this battery by plugging it into an outlet.

Yes, BUT as with any solar panel, it should be connected with a Charge Controller. FYI, if you plan to run any significant use from your batteries, this solar panel would not keep up. You will most likely need at least a 60 watt panel or more.

You would also need a Solar Charge Controller & a Battery. Check YouTube for instructions.

Yes, the unit came with panels. There are A/C units on the front and and a wall plug and solar panel ports on the back.

You will need a deep cycle battery and big enough inverter to run it use solar panel to keep battery charged

No I'm pretty sure you can connect the solar panel street into the controller box. I bought a separate solar panel and A mighty Mule open and that's how it hooked up

Not well you would need like 6 of them. I would go with cheap solar panel and run the power to an inverter

Yes there is a model that comes with panels here: KISAE 40400 1800-Watt Power Kit with 40-Watt Solar Panel

Anything is possible just depends on how much money you want to spend? you will need a pretty heavy duty inverter a large bank of batteries, multiple solar panels and charg controlers to accomplish the power required for Your conditioning unit. You should contract a PV contractor in your area for an estimate. I designed my system for a compete off grid application and it runs everything in my house

Those solar panels are very good, you can easy install them and use, make sure you will have controller connected.

Nope, completely stand alone. Solar panel powers unit and thermostat tells it when to come on and turn off.

You need a charge controller. I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I0IZ7O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , but I had to cut the wires on the solar panel to connect to the charge controller. You can get adapters, but I'm not sure what those are called.

Yes, it definitely can be added to easily. You just need to have a basic understanding of how much power the solar panels you add are producing and don't exceed the capabilities of the voltage regulator, (controller), etc.

No it is not solar powered. There may be an option for it but the unit, as is, is battery powered outside and pluged in inside.

You will need a charge controller and wiring cables. We suggest you purchase a complete kit 50W or solar panel bundle 50Watts in our store.
