Solar Air Conditioning Without Batteries

[GridWorks Green]

Nine and one half hours today of 100% solar powered, Mini split, mini fridge,normal house LED bulbs, two ceiling fans,two stick computers,two computer monitors, three security cameras and recharged the green lawn mower, all from a single 15Amp power board project system.

Smoke has had no significant impact in normal operation, only precipitation stops power production in daytime.

System simply removes loads or transfers larger loads to grid/secondary seamless support about 550watts can run 24/7 in the current favorite configuration.

Solar PV has priority and works to discount your electric consumption during the day.

Best wishes, take another look retired techs Master piece power creation.

I can see my inverters drop out of clipping when there is smoke,
your results may vary.

I think the solar powered AC units should try to go to the next
step. That is, use extra solar input to cause state change in a
bank of the sort like freezer ice packs used in portable coolers
to keep food cold. Generate enough cool so the unit could be
effective over night. Add some panels, at night just need power
for the indoor fan. Should be superior to batteries in many ways.

Converting from battery DC to heat pump DC, going thru a sine
wave stage is not adventageous. Better to use square wave
conversion for that situation. Bruce Roe

Focus of the project system was to provide the best pure sine power available for all of your electronics, Running the three quarter ton Mini-Split is something that was tested and worked way beyond expectations.

I agree that square wave or direct DC to a DC Mini-Split inverter drive compressor may be more efficient but I like being able to run things the way intended by the factory just plug and play.

My system right now is switching to full solar 15 minutes early under slightly over cast skies, This system with mono crystal panels will out perform your normal expectations.

Best wishes to all

If my inverter was smoking, I'd expect it to drop out of clipping too.
