I dont understand the purpose of huge centralised air conditioners, just buy 2 or 3 window units, its cheaper, cheaper to fix, if one brakes you have the others while you bring the broken one to repair, and while they are similarly efficient to a central unit, it is more efficient because you dont need to cool down the whole home, you can easly just cool down the area you are in,

I wanna try to run a window ac unit on 2 or 3 solar pannels, and just a small battery, , set it up with some relays so that as soon as the panels generate enough power to power thebunit, the unit has its power automatically switched on, and switched off when the panels get shadowed, that way the ac starts when its most needed automatically, more sun = more ac, and is free to run

My little window unit keeps me cool in a small room. It's a great unit , a real workhorse and I just wanted to be appreciative of that. I'm very grateful for this little thing.
