Or a billion campsites.
Got gnus for you. When I used A/C frugally in Mexico for a few rooms it amounted to 5,600 kWh for two months. A typical beginner's blunder. Electric power calculation is based on the WORST CASE, not the BEST CASE. My calculations are based in reality. 24/7. Right now at this moment, 94F -- 83% R/H. Could you tolerate it? Even the Mexicans are complaining. It was near 85F and 90% R/H at dawn With FOG. Your calculations must be based on 24 hour sunshine and legendary California 70F.
Whoops at 3:08 PM overcast, rain and lightning. Just like yesterday all the way back to Saturday
"HEY! NO FAIR" right? Amateurs think that way. Systems have to be conceptualized, laid out, engineered, built for worst-case not to have a freezer with $500 worth of food go bad. not to have an oxygen concentrator gather dust.
I've done a few hundred hours of workups on my system. It's the energy storage that is the killer. The batteries must be lithium and have the ability of a 240/200 amp system 24 hours a day for a week.
If you pretend anything is possible.
