Works well in series to a proper MPPT controller, garbage in parallel through the solar collector hub.
Garbage...
Garbage PWM, overpriced and underpowered
So about 1200wh of power available, good for 2-3 hours of small aircon in good sun but that's about all you've got in the bucket.
Jupiter 1500w? That's a modified sine wave inverter and not healthy for your aircon compressor.
As the local HF fanboy and employee 9and owner of 3 Thunderbolt 100w kits) I can tell you most of our solar stuff is krap, but it is good for learning so I'm not gonna say anything mean about buying HF stuff, it's affordable and gets your foot in the door.
OK, so an oddity of the HF 100w mono panels is that they work great in series, but when you parallel them up each panel puts out about 30% less than the panel before it, so your 100w panel + a 70w panel + a 40w panel are what you actually see. No idea why, people have done test runs and it is just something odd about their panels.
Fortunately if you get a proper 30 or 40a MPPT controller you can re-head the HF panels with good old MC4's and connect them up in series and get a proper 300+w string. They do punch above their weight class with some people getting upwards of 120w out of a panel so having the extra 10a of SCC can't hurt and doesn't really cost that much more. You don't have to go Victron either, a HQST, RichSolar, Weize, BougeRV, or anything else will really open up your solar harvesting. Pro tip: If there's a USB port on it, it's a FAKE controller with a MPPT sticker on a cheapie PWM box and they laugh all the way to the bank. Figure spending at least $100usd on a good unit. I'd avoid EPEver as there is a known bug in their tracking software.
As mentioned above, the aircon is likely 500w at the minimum. There might be a data sticker on there saying how many amps it draws at what voltage and you can math out the draw from there. There may be an Eco mode that draws less, the best way is to grab a Kill-A-Watt and throw that between the inverter and the aircon to see actual usage numbers. Add in 10% for the overhead of the inverter and that'll tell you how much power it takes per hour to run. Sadly, it's all about the maths with solar.
You have a good start with your battery, inverter, and panels. Now starts the fine tuning and learning that we've all gone through. Getting a proper MPPT involved will help quite a bit, and you'll find you'll likely need more battery to run that aircon on the longer days. Winter is going to suck, just accept that now.
Hang out on here a while and it won't be long before you're posting up about your 1.21Jiggawatt ground mount array and your DIY 40Mwh LFP battery build in a chest freezer with your paralleled inverters.
