Unless you have batteries and an acre of solar panels, you’re not firing up your a/c in the summer using solar panels.
“Unless you have batteries and an acre of solar panels, you’re not firing up your a/c in the summer using solar panels.”
Mostly wrong here.
I am there. Have had hurricane outages 4 days plus.
You won’t be running the a/c at night — true. But our solar produces more in the daytime than we can store in batteries. So with proper localized management we run multiple central a/c units off-grid during the peak daylight hours despite a multi-day utility outage.
