I am not saying this will work for anyone else, may not even work for us. Who knows?
This Window shaker uses 3.9a/ 446w on high and we have 720w of solar tracking the sun. A 8-D will take the surge of start up and I am hoping the solar will run it and leave the battery in float. At peak the array can produce 50a/ 650w. Luckily at 10,000 ft when the sun hides behind a cloud, the temps drops quickly. So no sun means no air needed.
Now being a dry state like Colorado is, swamp coolers work great up to a certain degree/ humidity. There is a you tube of a bucket swamp cooler that probably would do well for us if we had a larger supply of water. I can produce the electricity to run the A/C, I can't make water.
