Abstract
A hybrid cooling system is disclosed including but not limited to an array of solar cells electrically connected to inverters for producing electricity from the sun; a chiller controller processor in data communication with the inverters and a non-transitory computer readable medium; a chiller in data communication with the chiller controller processor and in thermal communication with inverters in a sealed enclosure, wherein the inverters are cooled by an inverter coolant fluid; an array of solar cells attached to the inverters for producing power from the sun; a free cooler in data communication with the chiller controller processor and in thermal communication with the inverter cooling fluid; a Freon loop positioned a water pipe carrying the inverter cooling fluid from the invert to the chiller; and a temperature sensor apparatus in thermal communication with the inverter cooling fluid; a switch for controlling an on off state for the chiller and the cooler, where in the processor for turns the chiller on and the cooler off when the inverter cooling fluid is above a predetermined temperature. A method is disclosed for using the system.
