Hyrbrid Inverter and generator to run AC?
I’m looking for inputs from those using hybrid inverters, especially in conjunction with generators to run high load devices like the AC. I currently have 600 watts of solar on the roof of my 5er, wit...

Whoops before going hog freakin' wild over any "solution" to start/run issues it must be first determined what the nominal hotel load shall be. Nowhere do I see a workup for additional AC loads that may be present when a starting AC decides to tax the capability of the generator..........hmmmmm?
If a 2,000 watt genset is dedicated to a constant load there will be the REMAINING BALANCE of wattage available. Beyond which is "No-touchee". Why is this subject such a mystery? Take a 2,000 watt generator load it to 90% potential with an A/C INCLUDING additional loads add HIGH TEMPERATURES that the A/C is being used for in the first place and you are going to have an UNHAPPY generator. Get the drift?
"Oh yes we can have air conditioning as long as the batteries are near full and other AC loads of > "x" watts do not appear" is the starting point. Continuing on to "Gee how hot is the generator running?" Is point 2.
Ignore either point and I can guarantee you will NOT be a happy camper. A siezed generator engine ain't where it's at. Know facts before engaging the dream machine....
