Thanks for the video. I use my prep AC every day. I'm in Arizona where the sun NEVER stops shining in the day. I've installed 3 solar mini split units that totally now take the place of both of my home units. The name of the AC units is called "Airspool" I have each of them running on 3 - 455 watt solar panels and they run FULL BLAST in the day. They have two power sources, grid and solar. For the grid, they just plug right in to a 120 volt outlet..... BUT .... "my" grid in more solar, inverters and batteries. During the say, ALL my batteries now get to 100% by about 1PM in the afternoon. SO, none of my AC runs off of the grid. I also use all my solar for my fridge and small freezer. It's amazing how LITTLE watts the fridge and freezer uses!

That's awesome! In a few years, I'll have to replace my roof. My AC is on the roof, and I plan to take it down and replace it at the same time. I have a mini split cooling my garage, but am looking to use them in the rest of the house as well.

Ever consider using an EG4 service rack battery and the EG4 off grid inverter. You get 5KW for under $2000. Nice work!

[@thetechieprepper]

Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, I have been looking at them... just haven't had the time, yet...

Put a soft start on AC

[@thetechieprepper]

Actually looking into that this weekend. The problem was the compressor... replaced and working now.

Cool 😅 I thought those window ac units would have used more power than 400w, I was thinking more in the 1000w range.

[@thetechieprepper]

Depends on the size (BTUs) of the unit. 400 is on the low end, I've seen close to 1000 watts pulled by a 1200 watt unit.
