A natural air conditioning system for a car is characterized in a heat energy accumulator, a car battery, a cooler, and a solar collector panel connected to compressor, fan and condenser assembly, expansion valve, and fan and evaporator assembly that are included in a typical car air conditioning system. When the car air conditioning system is in operation, a part of cold energy produced in the system is stored in the heat energy accumulator and the cooler. And, when the car air conditioning system is in an off state, power provided by the solar collector panel or the car battery drives the fan associated with the evaporator and cold energy previously stored in the heat storage accumulator is released to keep an indoor space of the car at a comfortable temperature. Cold energy stored in the cooler also enables the cooler to serve as a spare car refrigerator.
