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....

A 120w poly has Isc of 7.6a,
What 120 watt poly panel has an ISC of 7.6a?
If you mean "every 120W poly panel", then are you ruling out any new poly technology improvements that just may yield more than 7.6a ISC?
I guess it depends upon what "120 watts" means in the solar advertising world. I (erroneously?) thought that a 120 watt panel meant the real estate size of the panel ... assuming some kind of commonly available technology being used in the poly manufacturing -> hence maybe newer technology poly panels being capable of higher currents than panels of the same size but of older technoloy.
This begs the question: Since the "120 watt" Roc-Solid portable set is so expensive ... does this mean that it's physically smaller than competitors' "120 watt" systems because of superior technology?
