100% agree. The window AC unit in one of the pics above is already set to be used for this purpose. Good looking out! Fortunately I’m still In Testing phase and not currently in production
So I decided to keep the temp controller exhaust fan in case of heat buildup. But instead of a window AC(too much hassle) I got a slick stand up 8000 btu AC. We will also paint the shed reflective white and use foam board insulation on the inside roof and areas I can get to.
The indoor A/C units take an efficiency hit since they draw cool air from the room to cool the condenser plus you have to deal with emptying the condensate container and exhausting the hot air. I don't see an exhaust from the A/C unit? I'd get rid of the standup unit and install that window unit instead as it will exhaust the hot air outside along with all the condensate. Much more efficient.
Sorry the photos didn’t show the exhaust vent and water pipe. They were both installed.
Yes. But I’m currently testing loads. Ramping up to adding everything. For now it’s a savings even if the little AC is powered by FPL.
No clues yet. It still charges the battery but the inverter has failed. The hut is sealed and humidity is low. If I were to guess i might have lowered the life initially testing it without proper cooling. I will be opening the cover soon to take videos for possible warranty board replacement.
What brand/model inverter was it? The Growatt?
The technicians are going to send me 2 boards in an attempt to repair the problem. I will keep you updated
