Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 0:
1. A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate evaporation system installed outside midstream in a condensate line comprising:
a water holding and evaporation chamber;
at least one evaporation vent positioned above the water holding and evaporation chamber;
a wiring conduit chamber extending vertically from the at least one evaporation vent down one side of the water chamber;
a first condensate inlet provided in an upper portion of the water holding and evaporation chamber, wherein the first condensate inlet receives condensate drainage from a drain pan outlet of a rooftop unit (RTU) or an indoor HVAC system;
a steam generator placed within and enclosed by the water holding and evaporation chamber that evaporates condensate;
at least one or more solar panels positioned above the at least one evaporation vent, wherein the at least one or more solar panels fully power the steam generator to evaporate the condensate into the atmosphere as steam and the first condensate inlet provides a backup to the at least one or more solar panels for drainage of the condensate on low solar days when the steam generator is bypassed; and
solar panel electronics positioned directly below the at least one or more solar panels, wherein the solar panel electronics provide wireless notifications to a user when condensate issues arise.
