I realize that the batteries are the weak link in the system right now. I have plans to upgrade them in the future, but right now I have what I have. As to running the Air Conditioner from batteries, that's never going to be in the cards. It would take a system of some 43,200 plus watt hours (2 15 amp 120 V air conditioners running 12 hours a day) thus the reason I have a 6KW genny. The reason I'm looking at solar is to keep from running the genny when I'm not hooked to shore power and I'm just using everyday things like the lights, maybe a little TV, the control voltage for the propane refrigerator, and other normal things, no heavy loads for long periods of time. With all of that said, all I'm really concerned about right now is not catching something on fire and not ruining any of the equipment I already have. From what I have gathered on this and other places the batteries will take what they need and if I have too much current available it won't be an issue.
