Forget the solar cells. Too expensive. You'll need about 1000 watts for a barely adequate A/C. Solar cells run about $1 per watt (raw) and you don't have enough surface.
The only way to do this economically is if you get the parts cheap. A portable A/C is about $350, you'll need a battery $150, inverter $75, alternator $100, installation ! But everything except installation can be found on ebay or Craigs list, somethings for free if you go get it.
A portable A/C needs outside air, usually through huge dryer vent hoses. So something tricky with a window maybe.
