Hello,
My name is Bill and I'm new here. I have a 40' shipping container located in the Las Vegas desert that I would like to setup a solar system on top of to be able to power a small mini split a/c system and a few solar lights so I can store my classic car and motorcycles inside it during the hot summer months. I'm just looking to keep the temp inside the container about 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
I'm looking for some recommendations on a reasonable solar system that I can install myself that can run a small mini split a/c and some solar lights.
1) What size would I need?
2) How many solar panels on the top?
3) What kind and how many batteries inside the container?
4) Is a 1500 watt pure sine inverter enough?
5) How much would I be looking to spend for the system?
I've been watching some of Will Prowse's solar videos and the used 250 watt solar panels look like a good idea to start but I'm looking for advice.
Thank you.
