For two, if that is happening, you're likely causing damage, they had to replace the unit because it burnt out the compressor, trying to run 2 ac units on so little power seems to be an expensive problem, at least with the venom they own. I'm not sure how you're turning 15A into enough starting amps, let alone running amps to power nearly 30 amps worth of AC units. If' im not mistaken, two of the three you have are 15k units, they take quite a bit to start, and just a little less to run, that's not including all the others you're using. Though, they don't have solar, so I can't speak to that.

I have two victron 3000w inverter chargers stacked to provide 6000w continuous and well over that in peak. The victron will take a set amperage from shore power and supplement whatever the load needs using battery power. I have 400ah @24v lithium banks. When the shore power isn’t enough I can kick over 2x Honda eu2000 in parallel for 26a. In addition I have over 2000w of solar. I have enough starting power to kick over 3 ac units but that will run down my batteries after a few hours and really isn’t sustainable. Because the victron matches the input voltage, I see 114v+ on my dads and the Honda’s kick out a beautiful 119.4-119.8v consistently. The victron logs all this detail so it’s real easy to see what’s happening when AC units kick on.
You made me laugh saying that many don’t experience 110+ deg. Yah I guess not. It was 111+ today. That’s just crazy. When I was younger it didn’t seem to bother me. But indeed extreme.
I think you are incorrect in saying more AC units won’t cool it any more. I believe each AC can lower the temps 10-15 deg. Collectively I should be able to drop the temps 30 deg minimum. I could be wrong. I’ve only owned single AC homes and RVs.
Thanks for the response boss. Good to know others experiences.
