    Renovating a Shed to be Climate Controlled - Where do I begin and how much will it cost?

    That looks like a great mini split. The only reason I got this unit is because they person selling this let me have it for $186 brand new and threw in a brand new oil filled radiator, which I guess was a pretty good deal.

    Renovating a Shed to be Climate Controlled - Where do I begin and how much will it cost?

    I have a 10 x 8 Shed that was built wrong to begin with, and as a result, the front door doesnt shut unless I put force on it, and rodents and wasp have infested it. Some issues include: Rodent droppings everywhere (I'm wondering do I need to get a storage unit to put my tools in there first...

    (New to Solar) I'm trying to run a small 5000 btu air condition in my shed on solar, Can someone tell me what I need/dont need?

    I buy/resell/repair them, and it has filled 2 rooms, a garage, a 10 x 10 storage, and now a shed, and I just need a junk spot so i can sort through everything and have at least a storage/parts area. Do you think this unit will make a big impact on the electric bill? I'm also looking for...

    (New to Solar) I'm trying to run a small 5000 btu air condition in my shed on solar, Can someone tell me what I need/dont need?

    Sorry if I didnt clarify, this will solely be used as a climate controlled storage shed. I will be storing expensive video games, hard drives, laptops, things like that.

    He said it was drawing around 252-260 watts from the unit. Not sure how that helps.

    What kind of fan? I'm thinking of just buying that unit and running a cord from outside to my home, and then have this running for lights and something to power the dehumidifier: https://www.amazon.com/WAWUI-Generator-Flashlights-Emergency-Travelling/dp/B081SRMMSC?th=1

    Well thats what I'm trying to figure out before I purchase it. I saw this video here with the same unit. Not sure if this would help figure out that:

    (New to Solar) I'm trying to run a small 5000 btu air condition in my shed on solar, Can someone tell me what I need/dont need?

    Well to be honest we are talking about a pretty small shed (under 100 sqft, and when you count insulation, even smaller), so almost any ac that that can do about 64sqft would do. I'm kind of looking at the cheapest way to keep it climate controlled for electronics.

    (New to Solar) I'm trying to run a small 5000 btu air condition in my shed on solar, Can someone tell me what I need/dont need?

    So ditch the mppt controller and panel? I'm just trying to get an idea of what I should sell/keep, and try to get? Thanks for the help!

    (New to Solar) I'm trying to run a small 5000 btu air condition in my shed on solar, Can someone tell me what I need/dont need?

    Its an option, I'm just worried how much it would impact my light bill? Also would I have to get a mini split then? Is there anything on my list I should ditch besides the panels?

    (New to Solar) I'm trying to run a small 5000 btu air condition in my shed on solar, Can someone tell me what I need/dont need?

    I'm in Texas trying to get a small ac running on my shed (trying to keep it at 75 even on a hot summer to preserve electronics). So I'm assuming that means I need a 5000 btu unit (I have a 100 sq ft shed). Also insulation, r-35 (possibly 38), sealing up the cracks, and a dehumidifier I think...
