Abstract— The conventional air-conditioning system uses refrigerant that harms the environment and depletes the ozone layer. The commonly used refrigerants are CFC’s and HFC’s. Though HFC’s has less effect over the ozone layer as compared to the CFC’s but it still plays a role in depletion of ozone layer. A huge time would be required to make the complete system eco-friendly Moreover the other factors like extra power consumption, maintenance, service etc. lead to find an alternative for existing air-conditioning system. Thermoelectric Hybrid air-conditioning system has a solution to these advantages. In our project main use of solar power which is nature’s free gift is used to drive the thermoelectric module. The solar energy is converted into electrical energy through solar panel which is then given to the thermoelectric module. In case of insufficient solar energy, electrical energy can be used to charge the battery. As the electric current is given to the thermoelectric module due to Peltier effect temperature difference occurs. The blowers extract the heat from the cold side and the cold air is circulated in the conditioned space by changing the polarity hot air can be circulated in the conditioned space. So basically this is a year round air-conditioning which can be used for many purposes. Index Terms— HFC’s, Themoelectric module, Solar panel, Peltier Effect, Polarity
