I need some information on setting up a solar air condition.?

I would like to set up a solar power system to run my air conditioner or even just run or some of my lights in a portion of my home to save on energy cost. I am not a rich man so the cheapest way to do this is what i need. If any one uses solar in there home please help me he get started.

I did a solar air conditioner project when I lived in Phoenix AZ. I cooled my house for three years, but had to move to Oregon where the sun doesn’t shine and it doesn’t get hot.
My system was less than $3000, had only a couple moving parts, was automatic, low tech, etc.
The big problem was it was based on R12 which is considered by some lying SOBs to be not politically correct.
Butane would work just as good, but I wouldn’t want it to escape into my house.
I did this in the 80s and There was so much big dollar competition based on plitics that I had to drop it
If you email me, I may find time to give you more info.
I can’t afford to patent this, but it would be nice if it went somewhere.
