Hi there! Based on your search for a 12,000 BTU aircon, I'd recommend considering the Samsung AR4500 Inverter Air Conditioner for R9,499 or the TCL 12,000 BTU Elite Series Inverter Type AC for R7,999.99. Both are 12,000 BTU inverter units, which means they are more energy efficient to run than non-inverter models. The Samsung is a trusted brand and the TCL option offers great value. I hope you're able to find the perfect aircon at the best price! Let me know if you need anything else.
An inverter air conditioner is more energy efficient than a standard air conditioner. In an inverter AC, the compressor does not run at full speed all the time. It can adjust its speed according to the demand for cooling, just like a car engine that can accelerate and decelerate as needed. This saves a lot of energy compared to a standard on-off AC where the compressor runs at either full speed or is entirely off. The Samsung and TCL air conditioners I had recommended are both inverter models. As inverter technology improves cooling efficiency, you will see lower electricity bills with an inverter AC. Both units would be great options for you to consider. Let me know if any other questions!
Thanks for the additional context! Since you mentioned your air conditioner would be running on a solar setup, here are a few great options from the results: The GIZZU Solar Panel Kit 10W for R1328 and Snomaster - 200W Solar Panel Kit for R8326 would be perfect for powering your AC. The GIZZU kit is more affordable for basic needs while the Snomaster has a higher wattage output to power larger appliances like AC units. I'd also recommend looking at the Sacolar 5KVA 48VDC 100A Axpert Type Parallel Solar Inverter for R10799 to connect your solar panels to your home's electricity supply. With the right solar panel and inverter setup, you'll be able to run your air conditioner comfortably all day without worry of power outages. Let me know if you need any advice selecting components or installing your solar-powered air conditioning system!
Based on your search for an efficient air conditioner to run on your solar setup, I would recommend taking a closer look at the Samsung 12000 Btu AR4500 Inverter Air Conditioner.

Its price of R9499 also makes it very affordable for an AC with inverter technology. The Samsung is widely considered one of the best inverter ACs on the market right now.
