I would advice putting it out of the sun. The more heat the condenser coil can expel away, the more efficient is the aircon.

The piping length depends on model. All of them has a limitation of max length. There are some models that can go 135m. Most single split 1HP class aircon goes about 25m as the max piping length.

I put all my AC compressor on my rooftop there, first of all, your house looks nicer, let's face it, those compressors are fugly. Second, those metal thingy that support your compressor, it gets rusty after some time and will ruin your wall paint. Take a look at your neighbours and you'll know what I mean. 3rdly, servicing those compressors would be easy, I installed a tap on my roof for them to wash as well.

The downside would be the cost, I did all the concealed copper piping when I did my renovation, it is not recommended if you're staying in the house, just think of all the hacking and dust. sweat.gif
And copper pipe isn't cheap either, imagine running from your living room to your rooftop.

I've ordered Stainless Steel brackets for my installation. It doesn't rust but it costs more.
