So I'm throwing this in here because of the nature of the power system, even though it's not mobile. Hopefully someone on here can point me in the right direction.
Here's the situation:
I'm going to be moving into a new place soon (fingers crossed!) that has an 8x8 utility shed in the back yard that I'm going to be installing solar onto. The solar system is based on a Growatt SPF 3000 24v inverter because I already own one in a box from a previous project that got scrapped. I'm thinking I can get 4x Yingli 255w panels on the roof in a 2s2p setup to feed it and the big investment will be the Trophy 24v battery to power everything (because cold and unattended) with some lights, outlets, etc. The shed will primarily be used for my solar hobbies and my roommate's combat robots so not a lot of heavy loads.
The issue I'm trying to get around now is climate control. AirCon in the summer and heat in the winter. Due to the size and lack of windows I can't get a small window unit in there, so I'm looking at the DC split systems but everything I'm finding is cooling only. If I want a proper heat pump I either have to go to a 48v system or get a full house size 12k BTU 120v system which is massively overkill for an 8x8 shed.
Has anyone seen/used/touched/heard rumors of a 24v DC based proper heating and cooling split system? I've only found 1 system that is small enough but that head unit is still huge and will take up a LOT of valuable space inside there.
