Ive taken a fair amount into consideration.
Most of the batteries that Im looking at have a maximum charge rate of 50 amps. So thats 600 watts at 12V. In terms of solar that basically means that you can use up to 6 panels to charge 1 battery.
3 batteries means I can have up to 1800 watts of solar charging at one time. Which would also be just about enough to maintain the same battery level even while running the Air conditioning.
For now its really just a pipe dream for over prepared off-grid life/travelling, but in theory its pretty solid.
Also, I'm aware that wanting to run AC off a battery setup is mostly unnecessary, but as I said itd be nice to have the option.
