I am new and I do not have any VP setup yet. So links would be very welcomed for things that I need or things I need to read.
Here is my thought what I like to do.
I would like to run a 550 watt window air-conditioner unit.
I checked into prices for 250W panels which I believe that I need to have 3 to 4 of them to get enough power for the compressor to start. If I could run it day time only that would be a plus and I understand that it may take to much power to run at night on battery power.
I seen where they make a battery powered window unit, but the price is outrages.
This would be a off grid system.
Could anyone advise me what I would need to do this.
What inverter would be ok to use for this that is not to expensive. Talking about inverters.....years back I bought a 12 volt 1800watt inverter that I used many times already for back-up by hooking it up to my car battery. Would this inverter work for the window unit?
Thank you.
