Here’s an idea for off grid air conditioning. An air conditioner could run directly off solar during the day to cool our small insulated bedroom. Then, at night, it would be awesome to have ice stored from a solar powered freezer outside, that we can use to blow cold air directly onto occupants of the bedroom at night. Thus, no need for expensive batteries for cooling and a good backup in case the bedroom temperature isn’t exactly where we want it. The fancy name we can slap onto this is ice storage air conditioning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_storage_air_conditioning

What are your thoughts/advice on this? I have no experience with HVAC so any feedback on how to handle the details would be invaluable
