I don't see a 1,000 solar panel running a 960 watt AC. That requires nearly 100% efficiency and that won't happen except under the most perfect conditions.
And then only during the peak four hour period of the day.
In addition to running the air, the oversize battery would need to get charged to run into the evening. I figure 3000 to 5000 watts of solar to actually accomplish this. Of course if the panels are mounted over the RV it will reduce the cooling load by also providing full shade ;)
