The main objective of this project is to design and create an intelligent solar powered air conditioning system with feedback that is able to control the air conditioning system in a room. The Cooling Load Temperature Difference is calculated and a calculator is created to replace manual calculation of it. A prototype with Graphic User Interface has been created with several LED's to symbolize the air conditioning system. Study of photovoltaic with the meteorological data is included. The photovoltaic and battery sizing for the system was carried out. This project was carried out because our country is currently facing energy crises and a lot of pollution problems. Also the fact that our country receives very h igh a verage m onthly s olar radiation all throughout the year contributes to another reason why this project was carried out. In this report, all objectives stated were met and data about irradiance in Malaysia is shown and the final result of the project is reported.
