Hello! I have a 7 foot by 16 foot cargo trailer and have completely covered nearly every inch of the roof with 4 solar panels. (Canadian Solar CS3U-355P - each panel: pmax 355 Watt / vmp 39.4 volt / imp 9.02 amp / voc 46.8 volt / isc 9.59 amp).
These 4 panels are wired parallel and I plan to use the Morningstar MPPT TS 60 going to 4 12 volt deep cycle batteries wired in a 24 volt configuration.(I have 4 batteries wired 2 parallel and 2 series equaling 24 volts (Universal Power Group 12v 100Ah Solar AGM SLA). I plan to use a diversion relay to be added later.
Obviously the thing is on wheels but I'm in Illinois and the record low was -36 F in 1999. (who knows with this weather) The average high is about 60 F.
The primary use of the system is to operate a rooftop a/c unit (Dometic Brisk, Compression locked (startup) Rotor Amps (Alternating current) 70 Amps / Normal compression operation 13 Amps, Fan 6 amps.
I will only be using the a/c for about an hour or so a day around noon.
Converting the 24 volts to 120 volts ac I figure I need a 24 v 3000 watt continuous and 6000 watt surge inverter. If this doesn't run the air conditioner, I suppose I could cut a hole for a lower watt window air conditioner but I hate to do that.
Much obliged for any reviews.
