Just let him run with the story. With the better part of 2 grand sunk into 2 different glorified jump starter packs (Jackery and Bluetti), it's a fair assumption that understanding is lacking.
Oh G-Dog..Oh so wrong...Again
I do not have a red cent into the Jackery/2-100 watt portable panels,they were given to me..As for the Bluetti,yes,I paid $399 for the 700 WH power station that has LFP(cylindrical cells) plus 700 watt PSW inverter/camp light and wireless charger for my phone..Quite handy in my truck camper to move around as needed..
So I guess your kinda right,I have $399 dollars wrapped up in a Jackery 1000 watt hour power station and two 100 watt portable solar panels and a 700 watt hour(55ah) Bluetti with LFP batteries...A fool I am..LOL
On topic,running an AC off of solar and LFP batteries is very do-able..So many things dictate how long etc the duty cycle will be,it's hard to guestimate how long it will run each time off of said battery bank and the power it needs..With the temp the same outside,sun directly on my TC makes a huge difference compared to it being in the shade where it cycles much more and uses less battery..
For me this solar thing is for kicks and giggles with three inverter generators(2-Honda's and a Igen 2200)that I don't use much anymore with solar, other than to power household things when the power goes out at home..
Good luck to the op and his choice for his needs..
