Another possibility might be to upsize your inverter and use the potential excess power to run your air conditioner…Admittedly, not something that can be run on a continuous basis, but concurrent with your 675w of solar (makes this a viable option :)), and say a 2/3 duty cycle (low fan), you might be surprised how long it’ll run - doing some calc’s (2/3 duty cycle - 1/2 duty cycle post cooldown) typically several hours, and long enough to take the edge off the heat, especially in a smallish TC…This is what I often do in the desert using a pass-thru PSW inverter, 400a/h LFP and 660w solar…An upgrade that for us has been well worth the effort, and with LFP’s fairly minuscule voltage sag, a soft-start becomes less important…Just saying :)
