I am surprised there are so many skeptics when it comes to running AC off of solar.
This is not a matter of opinion or wishful thinking just do the math. Pick an A/C unit you think will work. Look at the specs for the wattage. That will probably be in the 700 watt range. That will mean each 100 AH of battery will last you a bit less than 2 hours. You also need to look at the amount of power you can expect from how every many solar panels you think you can fit on your roof. I would recommend using this calculator: http://www.where-rv-now.com/Notes/Solar/index.php
Remember that will be the absolute max you can obtain. I would not count on more than about half that output to compensate for other uses and for occasional clouds and shade. Do the calculations yourself to see if your plans make sense. Again this is not a matter of opinion.
