Just a update on my three ladies
YupDo you have a controller that comes off the Panels before going into the batteries
ie: so no over charging then out to inverter?
Could get expensive, will you actually try and run an AC off this too?
ThanxLike the Solar Powered Grow room. Very cool.
No I will buy another set of solar panels to run a ac unit the setup can easily run about 3 thousand including another set of 600 watt panels. I just had a idea and it was burning my guts so I had to do itCould get expensive, will you actually try and run an AC off this too?

Me too!Glad he is not my neighbor
I plan on getting another set of solar panels to control a portable ac unit to keep this room cool and it will be totally off the grid I can’t lie I didn’t run this in the summer because it is to hot but with air conditioning this baby can run year around just a glimpse of a future thread sorry I’m off topic again
Well the goal is to get the smallest ac unit with the lowest btu’s then pray to God you get a powerful enough solar panel kit instead of having a 540 watts solar panel imma shoot for a thousand watt solar kit test it on two more batteries remember this is a flower room it only need twelve hours of on time in the morning till the sun hit solar panel it’s running on battery then when sun hit solar panels it’s not running on the batteries it’s running from the sun only hours you need to concern yourself with is dusk and dawn when the suns not up the 540 watt Solar panels ran fine without Tripping any breakers for being low on power with those two batteries but you can’t use a powerful load on a low watt system I believe a thousand watt solar panel kit will run a low btu unit OFF GRID to cut to the chaseYour gonna need to add batteries too, I think. Air conditioners use a LOT of electricity and most are needed even after the collectors stop collecting, especially in the summer. I have 12 - 300 watt collectors, 2 - 5000 watt inverters and a ton of batteries and I still had to limit the use of my ac.
I'm excited to see how your get this to work.
