12k is in on the grid/ inverter
Much quieter than the 24k

Well I'd probably have to say after running both at 12K and a 24K if you have the square footage need and can afford the extra solar panel space, I'd go for the 24. The fan blows much harder inside. And it seems to cool a room down quicker.
I know I thought I might have preferred three of the 12K units, but now comparing the two for the larger part of my house I'm glad I got the 24K units
But that said the 12K is already down to a vent temp of 53.2° f (It made it down to 51f) and it is 89 outside. So it cools just fine. It just does not move as much air in the room as the 24k. But wide open on the grid, it only uses about 990 Watts or less.
It is more then adequate for a larger size bedroom and ensuite bathroom

Done except for the valence. That will be a custom job.

The manufacture that makes the mini splits sent it to me. He said this can be used in the mean time until the android app is fixed. ?

Oooooo. So they are working on the Air Con app?

Ah. Good to know. Can you show a screenshot inside the app see if it looks different than the Solar Aircon app?? MrM1 did you experiment with that ??
The 12k has a 15W indoor blower motor, and the 24k 45W. So your observations seem in line with that.

Read Manual. Specs the Smart Life app for Android as @JacksonSolar specified. Good. Makes me think they are preparing an Android app update.

Man let me just say...
These units pull a lot of humidity out of the air
I have to have a bucket for now under the 12k because it's in my car port. It has been powered on for less than 8 hours and has filed up over a gallon of water in the bucket.

Yeah the DIYs are on the SS site including a new 9k version (for more than the sale price of my 12k)

Spec sheet says the SEER rating of the DIY 12k is 28.5 up from 25 of the non diy? Odd
And the DIY has a service connection cover. Nicer.

For 2023 SEER is or is becoming SEER2. Remember reading an article on this. Not sure of conversion factors if any..
