Air conditioning on solar
So today I put together the three solar systems on the 8-D, hooked up the PowerJack inverter and then the 5000 BTU air conditioner. The Air conditioner is a Frigidaire unit that uses 446w/ 3.9a @120v....

These old enough that PSW models were not really common when they were built. I would imagine they use PSW now, though, as the efficiency and reliability of pure sine models has skyrocketed.
Theyre pretty interesting- everything defaults to shore, if available, but once off shore power, the inverters run everything, starting the genset when needed to recharge the batteries. I'm not sure how long they would run on battery power alone- 8 4D batteries give a pretty healthy capacity, but 8kw of inverters can drain it pretty quickly.
