    RV aircon vs. home heat pump

    sorry i meant to put 2Ton not 3 lol must have fat fingered that ! and it is 240v and the most i have had it pull was 2000w and my 15k coleman would pull that when it was working hard and didnt put out near as much cold air. that being said the 15k coleman isnt bad for an rv just not near as good...

    RV aircon vs. home heat pump

    i just moved out of my RV with a 15k coleman and it was amazing how much less power i use in my 1000sq ft barn with a 2 ton mini split. campers are made as cheaply as possible. with terrible and inefficient parts.

    EG4 6000XP 120v AC grid connection to 120/240v L1 and L2 input

    im in the same boat but i knew it wouldnt work that is why i kept my refurbished eg4 3000W to use as a charger. just turn it on if i need to charge with my 120v gen and i didnt have to spend almost the same price on a chargeverter.. plan on putting it on a golf cart so it will charge it and...

    Optimistic solar breakeven calculation

    my power company wanted $30k to bring power to my barn. so mine paid itself off day 1 in my opinion. iv got a total of $12K invested so far and i could make what i have work fine. iv been on solar only for almost 6 years now so id say even without the 30K iv almost paid for mine.

    Higher voltage hybrid ?

    i believe sol ark makes one about that size. if not the eg4 18kpv is 12kw of power and will for sure work. but also the 6000xp might work for what you are wanting. just depends on how you intend to use it. if you intend on feeding back to the grid the 6000xp wont do that but otherwise it is a...
