A hybrid system seem like what you are wanting. There is a lot of posts in this forum about how they work. https://www.solarpaneltalk.com/forum

I'll wait to either solar comes down in price, subsidies go up and/or tech improves.
Better get that all set up before the big heat wave shuts things down

You are right. That is what I want but the cost is too prohibitive in my situation. A 15-20 break even point is not worth it.

Or I watched a video about a unit that you add a glass of cold water, plug it in and it cools an entire house. I will look for the link.
