Even then they had full sun, and still drew 30 amps, this means with their 700 AH of battery (3 times what my rig shipped with 1.5 what I have now) they only had less than 10 hours of run time.
A/C is more important at NIGHT when you are sleeping, NO solar then.
So yes, it can be done, No it is not practical AT THIS TIME, also that was a small A/C unit, Mine are bigger plus I have two of them.
It can be done, I know folks who do it. But in some conditions there is a better option. When last I was in the dessert I used a portable "Swamp Cooler" took a good 10 degrees off the bedroom. Added gallons of water to the air (I suffer from dry nose in the dessert) and only drew a few watts for the blower and water pump motors.. Alas, after several years the unit failed. But this puppy can run off the inverter no problem, even a 1500 watt is more than enough.
