    Abstract: A device for heating and cooling an enclosed area, such as the passenger of a motor vehicle. The device includes a temperature control unit for a user to interface with the device and allow the setting of the threshold operating temperatures. A temperature switch is used to control the initiation and termination of the heating and cooling unit. When an upper threshold is reached, the temperature switch indicates to a control unit to place the heating and cooling unit in cool mode and blow cool air into the enclosed area until the ambient temperature is cooled below the upper threshold, whereby the heating and cooling unit is deactivated. Similarly, when a lower threshold is passed, the temperature switch indicates to the control unit to place the heating and cooling unit in heat mode and blow heated air into the enclosed area until the ambient temperature is heated above the lower threshold, whereby the heating and cooling unit is deactivated. This device being powered by solar panels.
