Hi,
If you wish to run the roof air then probably the best path is to change to a 48 volt LI battery bank with a 1600 watt or larger solar system.
I can easily run my roof air from my existing system--but I don't have enough solar to recharge the battery bank from that sort of load. Since I'm committed to 12 volt, I'd have to use a Magnum PT-100 charge controller. That would allow me to get to 1200 watts of solar. I'd have draw from the battery bank and limit run time on the air conditioner somewhat.
