Magnum does not recommend running a roof air conditioner from their 3000 watt inverter/chargers.

I appreciate the information. At this time, it is not my intent to attempt running the air conditioner while on battery power. The inverter could technically do it, but I'd have to install crazy amounts of solar and battery capacity to make it viable. I'm mostly trying to oversize my system a bit to reduce wear and tear on the electrical and to ensure I can safely run everything at the same time without having to think about popping the breaker.
