Can We Run RV Air Conditioning On Solar Power? A Quick System Overview!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- We’re continually asked whether it’s possible to run an RV air conditioner on solar power. In this quick video we quickly go over the basics of our system to show it in action. We’ll be boondocking across the country over the next 30-60 days (starting 5-12-20) and will have many upcoming videos diving into more details about our setup. Follow along!
We replaced an old Dometic in our 36 foot camper (vented). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxDDbPbIlwLRcX_ntp51ui5UMtAUGpHYxE The install was a simple swap, all holes lined up, the electric plug back in with no trouble. Getting it on the camper was the most "difficult" part of it, and my friend made it look easy. I've seen people "sled" them up ladders as well though. I watched a UA-cam video for instructions, very easily done. Some say it doesn't come with instructions, but I found the instructions under the ac in the box. I didn't need them, but they were there.It works well to keep a 36 footer comfortable, all by itself. It doesn't seem to be any quieter than the original, but it isn't any louder either. We're very pleased with it. Esp with the ease of swapping them out.
*I love the Input/Output wattage function along with the % of charge remaining. solar **Generater.Systems** Well done.*
After reading many reviews and watching a lot of videos, I chose this option for my first backup power station. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHypYDKHAN93Lp2RQpfvU_ksc70wJ00pt I was between this and a larger option that could power a wider range of items, but the price/size/capacity blend seemed right for this unit. Hasn't gotten a ton of use yet, but the build quality is solid and it charges fine via the Rockpals solar panel I purchased to pair with it. One thing to note is that the screen is optimized for a top down viewing angle, which makes sense, but this means it washes out at other angles - especially low angles. Not a huge deal, but perhaps a better option for the display could be used to provide wider viewing angles.
*Solid, **Fastly.Cool** and gets the job done. For RV where window-mounted air conditioning is not an option, this works very well. Easy set up, rapid cooling, and great design.*
Your wrong! I have a mini split window AC installed in a cubby hole with outside access compartment door and AC is installed on a drawer slide platform. Open door, slide unit out and turn on. Runs on 500 to 700 watts, 8K BTU, inverter technology with soft start. Happier than a pig in shit.
@@wally1957 i think you way misinterpreted this one year old comment lol
Can you modify the description to include all the parts of your solar set up?
That's the baddest solar / electric setup I've ever seen. Teach me master Yoda ha.
I know right!
Thanks for the overview of your super system. I'm always happy to look at an engineering solution from a different perspective. We have been FTing a couple years and discovered we love to boondock so we are planning a big system in two phases. We completed the first 12v phase our first year and plan on building our second 48v phase the beginning of next year. We started by installing a 620 watt array on the side of our motorhome for our small 12v battery bank, that we use to run all the 12v items and a small 600w PSW inverter to power our entertainmnet center and PC. We like the side mounted panels because they can be angled toward the sun and are easier to keep clean without climbing on the roof, as we're not as young as y'all are. We are currently using our 5500 genny to power our larger AC loads, but in phase 2 we will be racking 9, 60cell 360+ watt panels on the roof (3,240+ additional watts) above our AC units to give us a total of 3,850 watts of solar. We also plan on mounting a super high efficiency 48v DC Hotspot minisplit high on the rear for both cooling and supplemental heating, as it draws about 1/2 the power of a typical rooftop AC, saving the inefficiency of running the power through 2 inverters (one to convert the DC battery power to AC and another inside the heat pump to convert it back to DC power.) I will build a 48v (16s) 14.4 kwh battery bank using the new 280 ah LiFePo-4 cells that are available. I can put one together with a quality BMS for around $2k - that's the storage capacity roughly equivalent to 11 Battleborn batteries for the cost of just 2. I will also use this bank to run a 48v inverter charger for my other electrical needs. This is my low budget (relatively) solution to my offgrid power needs. Congrats on your excellent system. I hope we'll meet down the road one day. Chip
I would love to see your wiring diagram, and total cost. This is very impressive system.
Yes I’m Florida you will need ac 24/7 in the summer. I lived in Tampa 10 years and now in Naples 11 years.
Humidity is insane. So I replaced my dometic with a mini split
Recognize the park! Paradise by The Sea is awesome! Thanks for sharing,
SS
I can hear how proud you are about your system, and you should! Good job.
this is like a 30-40k system just for the power lol id be proud too
I'm glad this works for you. But for viewers, that's about $10,000 and 400 lbs of just batteries. Also, as far as the US is concerned, the South West is the very best it gets when it comes to PV performance. Rain snow and northern latitudes all decrease performance. I hope PV performance improves over the next 10 years, but for now, I just can't see running AC on batteries as viable for most people in most places.
While agree with the first part ($10-20k and lotsa weight) Keep in mind that when the solar is less available (rain, snow etc) is when you will not likely use the AC - so no XS draw there. But Man! 12 batteries and 12 panels!! Yikes!!
My solar set up cost me in the neighborhood of $16000.00, and my 1600 ah LiP04 battery bank weighed approximately 350 lbs, and it was very close to your estimate of $10,000. was it worth it? Probably not! I am an electrician, and it was fun setting it up, but because it was my first time, the cost was almost double the cost of a (package deal) from a reputable Solar Sales Company. The packages that you can find from different companies are actually worth their weight! Doing a job, DYI, piece by piece, was way too expensive. Find a package deal, and go with it!
What does this solar power set up cost and how often do you need to replace the batteries? My guess is that your system purchase would be at least $ 25,000 plus installation cost and battery replacement would be at about 15 years at an additional cost. Lithium batteries cost more but do last longer (up to 20 years), but lithium batteries also degrade over time pending on usage and become less effective in storing energy.
Yes you have independence from the electric grid but at a high price.
100%. And all rv's are built poorly and they are not built to be lived in full time. A beautiful set up, indeed. But so silly. The system will out live the trailer. And he still will need a generator to run his AC in humid weather? So so silly. I hope everyone turns to solar for their homes so they really feel what it's like to not be able to draw the amount of energy that they demand. Go ahead and drink the cool aid.
I installed a system similar, and it cost me approximately $16,000.00 for material only. However, there are package deals offered at different solar companies, that could have cut my cost in 1/2 on material. Making the Labor the only variable.
Very nice setup very jelly here
This system is a lot like mine. His numbers are typical of what I get on sunny days like that.
Yes this is possible.
Do you have a list of that components u used and etc i have a 41 foot heartland that im trying to do the same thing to i was trying to find all the components and have the full list before coffing up all the money
This is great. Did you do this yourself? I'd love to follow your advice. Like others in the comments, I'd love to see your list of modules and components.
Beautiful install!! Nice to have all that power without listening today and smelling a generator. U have a lot of money invested and the install is superb. Thank u for the tour
I would take generator over this any day, this is just cool project nothing more. In few years nightmare to maintain. "Fossil" fuel all tha way baby.
Wao. There is any way you can share all used parts and the ensamble to connect all. This is amazing project. Thanks for sharing
Nice man just got into fifth wheel living and this is awesome to see. Technology is amazing
Wow awesome set up on your roof brother !
That’s an extremely expensive system to install on your rig. You may want to discuss that investment. I would install an Onan generator until the cost comes down. The average RVer only keeps their RV 3-4 years. If you bought a new rig, would you remove the system and use it on another RV? 12 Battle Born batteries =,somewhere close to $12,000. I looked at a couple of your other panels and they were several thousand dollars each. Pretty pricey undertaking and takes up a lot of space.
Thanks for the Video. i had a build that was tesla Module power and we had a lighting strike that shorted something and the batteries caught fire. Thank God we where at home and no one was in the build. I am doing another build and have purchased 3 BB batteries @ 12V and struggled to run the RV and couldn't think about AC. I thought about trying Tesla again in a custom firebox. But after watching your video I think i will sick with BB and just add lots more. I did watch your other video about the reasons you switched
It's a LOT safer way to go, you've proven my point :). Enjoy!!
Insurance seems valuable for sure
I've had the capability to run my air conditioner off of batteries for a year and it works well. I do need to monitor inverter temperature when running both A/C's for an extended period.
It looks like 9 panels maybe 250 watts each? He can run his AC in direct sunlight during the day and can’t park in the shade or under a tree.
When the sun goes down all solar systems go down; how much battery do you need to run AC all night?
Thank you very much for your system overview. I'm guessing that is about $20,000 ish to do all of that perhaps more. You are quite correct about the weather in the East and you will get far more cloud as well, but you should still get a fair charge anyway. I would run your generator for at least an hour a month just to be sure it will be there when when you need it. You have done all you can to work this for over night AC, which is really the problem when you are trying to sleep. I have been in the Carolinas when the humidity can be cut with a knife. Even in the mid-West like Illinois can be quite hot and humid as well. In the East there are comparatively few boondocking opportunities save Walmart and you probably won't be permitted use of a generator, but you can see. The East is not the West. Also the East is quite forested and so at most campsites there can be very limited solar coupled with the clouds. You have an amazing set up, but it will be interesting to see how it goes for you. You work looks very professional and I hope you and your family get many years of enjoyment out of it. Travel safe. Henri (RVing with Henri)
Well you at over 11k for those batteries alone.
Generator all the way, all this money and still you can't leave this thing for 2 weaks on same spot and run AC all day long.
@@zelenizub2036 Yes, but many places won't let you use them. If you chase 70F you may not need one and then the solar will do everything.
@@henrivanbemmel Chase Why would you want to stay at an RV park to use solar? Isn't the point to boondock? I have yet to come across any places that do not allow a generator. For $2000 I can run my appliance and AC 24hrs a day. He has a beautiful set up, but to spend that kind of money is absolutely silly.
Would love to see a parts list/cost. Not labor of hiring it done but just the parts.
You're probably close to 20k in parts
Imagine a Windstream covered in small hexagonal panels making the entire surface area a power collection surface.
Sad that so many believe this is not possible. Well done and next video please spend more time on the set up and how you got it to where you are and less on trying to prove to the haters that it’s possible. I just picked up mine with 880 watts for solar and will add four more panels, there is ample roof space. Need to learn how many batteries, the best type etc. Cheers and thank you for sharing this.
Why doesn't anyone mention "Soft Start" capacitors, to help alleviate the inrush current overload?
@@alanpetersen4497 if these are modern inverter style air conditioners they arent needed. but that being said this is like a $40,000 power setup lol i think he covered his bases
I would also like to add that corporations like Dometic have the technology and ability to bring you low powered AC units for your RV like the Mideal 8k BTU mini split with inverter and soft start built in (#1 seller on Amazon) but they would lose money doing so. They currently charge around $1800.00 for a roof top AC unit and I can buy the much better MIdea for only $379.00. It would be easy to convert the mini split technology to a RV roof application. Who ever does this first will rule the RV marketplace for Air conditioners. For now I will stick to installing the mini split inside my RV cabinets while using outside compartment doors and drawer slides for the AC unit to sit on. Simple and cost effective. Oh...and I will use the original AC space on the roof for more solar panels.
i hope battle born appreciates you man. thanks for some truth on this (about ac and batteries) i am in central Florida. everyone has to have ac for rv life here. but i was considering just the fan life.
Great content. Glad I got to see the set-up before you left. Time is moving fast. A week already Tuesday.
Thanks!!
Ductless mini split uses 450w, needs just a couple of panels and simple inverter.
That’s some serious power. Two inverters amazing man
Run the Damn RV full electric. God damn it. My million dollar idea.
Ideas are collective. If you’re thinking it then someone else is too. When something is meant to be here, many people are seeded with the thought. It’s just a matter of who can afford to being it to fruition.
amazing set up.... Simply amazing....
I can only see mega $$$$ with your system. I also run my RV AC x2 on solar but I use Mini split 8k BTU with inverter technology and soft start built in. Runs on average 500 watts and 710 watts on startup. Cost for unit $379.00! I installed it inside a cubby hole inside my entertainment center, installed outside compartment door and built drawer slide for the AC to sit on, hence all I have to do is open compartment door, slide ac out and turn it on. My second AC is a 5000 BTU unit installed the same way only located in my bedroom wall cabinet. I can run both AC's on less power than one standard roof top AC (about 900 watts for both AC's). I am actually tearing off the old power hungry Dometic roof top AC and throwing it overboard as hard as I can, and to the scrap heap. I only run four 12V LIfepo4 100 AH batteries wired in series for 24V. For your viewers never run 12V system and trying to run over 1000 watts or things could really start to heat up. I switched to 24V inverter and 24V system overall after my wiring got really hot and almost started a fire. I was trying to discharge my batteries as fast as I could pulling about 2000 watts. for over a hour and smelled something burning. It was all the battery wiring. So again people never run over 1000 watts on a 12V system. The people who sell inverters know what I am saying but they won't tell you the truth. They only care about sales. I only wrote this to let you know that you don't have to spend a fortune to have a good system.
Signature solar in Texas has a split unit that uses 500 watts. How much is your ac using when compressor turns on?
Very cool! Love the setup and curious to see the impact when you get to Tampa. Not humid here now, but that will change shortly.
I'm NOT looking forward to that aspect haha. Fortunately when we arrive in the Tampa area we're able to plug in so it will be a moot point, but I fear the weather!
we call it camping The weather is the fun part LOL! Safe travels to the Sunshine State.
Wow, That's a boat load of panels. Who ever did the install is an artist! They look amazing. Did you go through a drive through carwash before you filmed this? ... So Clean! Nice job.!!
Wow, those panels can power a lot of devices! 👍👍
Very very impressive setup you have sir!
Thanks so much! Really does set us free!
I am coming along late but I jjst came across your video. Have you had any experiences with what Ive heard of as some sort of Startup Assist package that can be obtained or added to an RV A/C unit? Is it needed...does it help etc? It seems to me that if your equipment and sytem overall is large enough to produce the power...then it would be fine as is. That seems to be the case for your setup. Appreciate any comments you have. Thanks
A small Solar package cannot handle the load, unless a "Soft Start", capacitor is wired up to the a/c compressor. The inrush current of the A/C unit is as much as 800% of its normal operating amp copacity. Installing a Soft Start capacitor changes the sign wave of the current and voltage, and allow the unit to start on much lower current. Therefore, the answer to your question is YES, you need a Startup assist package.
so I now have 2040 watts and tried boondocking in Florida with rainy season, mostly cloudy every day, very humid, I get about 1400 watts in solar. Creates a deficit often. It is July 2022
Wow that's an awesome system you have there. is there any way that you can show the wiring process on how to get your air conditioning unit to run off your inverters while you are on solar power.
that would be great if you haven't done one already I have to check out your channel after this post.
I'll have a blog post up soon, thanks!
You're going too have to rig it up yourself outspoken!
Without changing your electrical needs and use, can your battery bank get you through a summer night and will your solar array simultaneously provide your daily electrical needs and fully recharge your battery bank for the next night?
Seems so
That really helps. I have 1000 watts on the roof with 800 more coming. You said you have upwards of 10 hours to draw from your batteries for AC. But I think that is not correct. Help me out here. If you are running in the evening, temperatures and ambient temperature will be much lower, hence no sun, so your AC would run continually, not continuously. I live in Naples FL and it is humid. But even today, August 5th 2020, in the evening the AC in the condo turns off a lot more. In the RV even in middle of the day it turns off. So is it fair to say you could not deplete your batteries from your AC in the evening? I understand theory and reality don't always match up... what sayeth you?
You're correct in your assumptions, I mean 10 hours of AC runtime, space that out however you'd like, it's so dependent on location it's impossible to pin down
Man that's a nice solar setup. I'm super jealous.
ive seen battleborns running roof ac before but the first vid that show more solar capacity than power being used.
It's certainly one of the larger installs, but they're getting bigger by the week!
When you had the Tesla batteries, did you have a cooling system for them?
wow what a massive solar set up
With so much of your roof covered with dark colored solar panels, I've often wondered what the temperature gets to be between the solar panel and the top of the roof.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm building a similar system with 5 x 440Watts LG Panels and wondering if I should just put them all in series or have two MPPTs and separate into Series + parallel. Through your experience with threes and bypass diodes, have you had any issues with shading ? I'm guessing your SunPower panels have bypass diodes at every cell and don't get much affected by it. I've noticed you've a single MPPT controller on the 210watts panels I'm imagining you've a series+parallel setup, can you share more info on the solar wiring layout ? I could not find it on any of your videos.
Thank you.
Impressive solar setup. Massive and no doubt massively expensive. Most will not have the room for that kind of capacity. I am trying to figure out how much solar power that I will need to run one AC unit in my 31' travel trailer. Can it be done? I don't have room for 12 batteries or all the panels pictured in this video. Will it be worth it? My experience with boon docking is that tank dumping is the major issue. We don't boon dock much except for parking lot overnights en-route. Maintenance issues down the road are a concern as well. We all know where all those components are made and, the warranties are pathetic.
I learned a long time ago, no problem is insurmountable if you throw enough money at it. I'm guessing off the top of my head that system 20-25K?
it's amazing! It's possible!
You may be able to get air conditioning from solar panels during the day, but what about at night? Can you store enough energy during the day to carry you through the night?
What did that battery pack cost? Over $10,000?
It's about an $11,000 battery bank, and generally speaking we're fine through the night but we don't spend a lot of time places that are hot at night.
Lived in Oceanside for 17 years.
The dog sleeping in that position was hilarious.What would you think about running a ductless air/heat system instead of the roof shaker style?
I actually did a mini split on my last RV, I really did enjoy it but it was a lot of work to make it “like factory”. It would be much nicer if you could buy a new RV with one pre-planned, pre-plumbed and pre-installed. Then you’d really be on to something. It’s a goal of mine for the future, no doubt.
we call it camping How did the mini split handle the traveling? That ya always been a concern of mine that it would get beat to death?
Very nice, thats alot of Battleborns
The best in the biz :)
Nice setup. I'm all about solar. But there are two issues that prevented me from pursuing this on a Grand Design Reflection 297RSTS travel trailer. 1) The manufacturer spec payload capacity is 1,500 lbs with 10,000 lbs GVWR. With washer/dryer combo, generator, and other upgrades to include personal affects and furniture, I'm right at the limit without any solar upgrades. 2) The combined weight of solar panels, brackets, and A/C units on the roof top makes for a top heavy rig. Any sudden evasive maneuver to avoid hazards or accidents at highway speeds may potentially contribute to the rig tipping over. It's not so much about electrical power capability but more so about personal and public safety. I'm not saying your are but if I were a guessing man, I would guess that you are exceeding these two constraints and potentially exposing yourself to a liability lawsuits in the event of an accident. Not trying to be a nay sayer or dampen your enthusiasm. I would love to have a solar system like yours. Just pointing out some possible 2nd and 3rd order affects.
With the added weight of batteries below there is no way you could ever be top heavy.
Solar panels are now light weight. I have 200 watt bi-facial panels that weigh 25 lbs. each, So weight is not a issue anymore.
Most of the weight is low in the trailer where the batteries are. The panels are around 40 lbs. each. The batteries have all the weight at 90 + lbs each
Those batteries only weigh 31lbs...
Cool awesome!
That's incredible. Roughly how much did this hookup cost?
Awesome set up and beautiful rig! Just curious on why you use two inverters?
my guess - to even out that huge load / capacity and possibly to cope with all those amps... To the best of my knowledge Victron only go up to 5kw units and I'm guessing that it also reduces wire size/cost..
Tha beagle passed out in the bed 😹😂🤣
How much does this system cost?
2:01 if there was a picture of what me doing the most looks like it would be this moment🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is me... With umpteen solar panels Runnin ac like nobodys mf business 🤣🤣🤣 love it
I have enough panels to run A/C during day, but not enough battery for overnight.
Damn! 12k just in batteries!
exactly my thought!
@@rffairchild2 every 6 years too. must be nice to have 2k a year for batteries.
Current lithium ion battery banks last for about 10 years before replacement is needed
.
@@jimfairchild2093 is that like avg or youtr setup? they are rated for 6 years with normal use.
Can you explain more on the rig to keep the batteries cooled? And other aspects on the spaced used in the RV storage area?
can I ask the cost of the entire system? I spent close to 8,000 for an Onan 5500 watt generator and the thing drinks almost a gallon per hour during use. Solar seems to be the ticket!
You're probably looking at 35k installed or so
I want to know more about you AC system specially the heating coil system and cooling coil system what type of compressor you are using
Do you mean that the rv can have a single air conditioner running 24 hours without the need to connect to the electrical network?
Does that mean that during the day the solar panels run the air conditioner and ALSO FULLY CHARGE the batteries, which in turn provides all the power throughout the night?
I am betting that setup is around $20,000 (at least) in parts alone. Each of those batteries are around $1000 and those are the Victron inverters--also around $1000 each..
Yup, a masterclass on overkill spending.
Better than spending the money on cocaine bars or whores. LOL
@@bullbutter9699 I guess it would be. I went for a Giandel inverter with a separate automatic transfer switch. Batteries were Ampere time. Setup works great.
Thank you sharing your information. I want to run my two AC on battery also. I currently only have wet cells, Hoping to buy 4 lithium Kilovault 300a batteries. I have 2182 watts of solar capability on the roof.
I have a 3k and a 2k Magnum Energy inverts. My questions is: Normally when using the inverters not all of the Receptacle will work. Did you have to have any additional electrical work or an additional sub-panels to enable the ACs to work? If so, did you do the work yourself? Thanks..
There is a lot of work to be done, all receptacles work, you’ll just have to work out your energy requirements :)
Wish I had a better system. We have the same name, wonder how we are related.
Nice system you have wish you put out more videos about your rig and travels. Just sold out Solitude 377MBS and got an Imagine 22MLE.
How did you install all that and the cool monitor!?? Would love to do that to my rig
Obviously money is not an issue on your system probably 25k in that system very nice if you are living in it full time
Holy smokes, what a system, do you mind sharing how long you can run everything off solar/battery combo? What about at night when no sun is out, how long would fully charged batteries run your AC? Thanks
Can you do a video or have you done a video about what exactly you used for your solar and system and did you set it up yourself did it come on your RV originally? How much did it cost etc. etc.
Hi, good video. What would say your total power generation is on a good day? You've got 2,500 watts of solar and I've heard the rule of thumb is 3 or 4x that for a daily total, so 7,500 to 10,000 watt hrs?
Did you ever consider a mini-split that would only pull 400-800 watts vs your AC needing 1,500?
Where in Oceanside are you? We’ll be there in February and looking for a place!
What are the A/C units? Are they the originals that came with the trailer?
They are the original units, Coleman Mach 8’s
Are living my dream
Can you run both ACs and for how long. BTY people asking for the price doesn’t understand how nice it is to be in the middle of nowhere not worrying about power or noise from a generator
Has anyone drawn the 1800-2000 watts continually and checked the temperature of their wires? I have 2/0 wires and a 2000 watt Inverter Charger. My terminal on my inverter gets to be 160F, and my wires all the way back to the battery bank are at 130F on the outside. Heat checked with a temperature gun for the wires, and with a temperature sensor on the ring terminal of the inverter. Just curious what the normal is?
This is completely dependent on length of the wires and voltage of the system
If you run anything over 1000 watts on a 12V system you are pulling too many amps and things will heat up. Go to 24V inverter and 24V system and you will thank me later. Wire your batteries also in series for 24V. This way voltage goes up and amps are reduced. Wiring size can also be reduced as compared to 12V. I am writing this for the novice solar enthusiasts.
What's your battery capacity? How many kwh?
Living Vehicle has a setup that produces 4400 watts and stores 72kwh.
How do you run a generator ; with solar.? How many batters and solar panels and can a wind gen. Be hooked also I have a5th wheel trailer I want to do this to and where do you go to have this done?and cost? THANK YOU
Do you have to use Soft Starts on your air conditioners? Did you consider using 320 Watt solar panels, which are a little larger, and heavier then the 200 Watt solar panels? The size difference is negligible, and the weight differences are approximately 40lbs verses 26lbs for the 200W solar panels. I figure that I can lift a 40lb solar panel, but not sure they will fit?
Very nice setup. With that bank of batteries do you still need some sort of extra capacitor for the initial start/surge of the A/C compressor?
He mentioned he has an Easy Start from Microair on his air conditioner. It lowers inrush current significantly. Small generators can run an AC when installed.
How many watts of solar do you have? And so you're inverting with 24 volts with a converter for the 12 volt stuff but the 110 is off of 24 volts correct?
what brand is that controller/control panel? does it have a way to integrate grid power if thats plugged in and charge the batteries?
I'm a bit confused. I have a similar system with most of the same Victron components and I also can run my A/Cs. You show that you are pumping 1900ish PV watts in the video but only have a 150/100 charge controller. That math escapes me. if you maxed out that controller you would have 100 amps flowing at approx. 13.5 volts which is 1350 watts at max. What am i missing? Perhaps another controller I didn't see?
You missed that the system is 24v, thus that controller is capable of double in all ways ;)
Awesome video I am looking to do something similar...who did all the work I am looking for someone who can help
What's best way to mount panels to the roof
Can the AC run 24 hrs?
What solar panels do you have?
I'm trying to wrap my head around how you're only using one charge controller with that size array
Bigger air space for the compressor.
How about at night
do Batteries have enough power to run Aircons?
Damn. Ide probably invest in a security bsystem with all that money into it.
