This is an evaporative cooler: http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/home/heating_cooling/evaporative.html
It blows moistened air down through the house’s vents, which are near the ceiling, and out a few slightly openned windows or doors (to create a breaze).

the cost on solar panels would be prohibitive. you would have to have enough panels to produce enough power to run the a/c unit, and depending on what size a/c would determine how many panels would be required. photo/voltaic panels that produce that much energy are very,very expensive. also most panels produce dc current, air conditioning units are, for the most part a/c current.

AC units unfortunately use up monstrous amounts of electricity which would just be too much for a small set of solar power panels. But what you can do is get a solar power attic fan. Basically they cool down your attic by a few degrees which in turn cools down the rest of your house. If you don’t need to use your AC as much or as high, your going to save some money. I posted the link above for more info, I really think its as close as your going to get.
