Off Grid Solar Powered RV Air Conditioning – Is it Possible?
That's kind of a demonstration. It's too bad that the Wynns are technically challenged. Yes, they proved that their AC can be run off the inverter but there is no mention of how this might effect their overall use. Running the AC even on their lithium bank (and considering other typical loads) will leave them with a discharged bank in the morning. Starting the AC on the second day will leave them almost completely discharged on the end of day 2, even with the big solar array.
I didn't expect much from a guy that can't plug a tire but they should have stated the SOC of their battery bank at the end of the day instead of sipping drinks on the couch. Who knows, these internet stars may have run the AC all night long and may have woken with no lights and a cloudy day.
