Hello! I am adding solar and air conditioner to a cargo trailer and would like feedback on my build before I buy and start building everything. Does anyone see any issues with this setup or my expectation to run an air conditioner for 4 hours or more a day? Thank you in advance and thank you for all of the information I have already found on this forum!

Best case performance:
Components:
- Solar Panels: 10x 100 watt Rich Solar Panels in series
- All in one: EG4 - 3000EHV-48
- Battery: EG4-LL Lithium Battery (V2) | 48V 100AH
Load:
- Air Conditioner (AC): 725 - 680w
- Cooler: 55w
Solar charging:
EG4 requirements
- Max MPPT Operating Voltage: 500 VDC
- Max PV Input: 5000W
- Max charging current: 80A
My calculated solar specs
- Max Operating Voltage Output: 230.6V
- Max PV Output: 1000W
- Mac charging current: ??
Solar performance:
- ~5.9 hours of peak sun for full battery charge
- ~6.6 peak hours of sun per day
Best case performance:
- Battery: 5,120 kWh * 93% inverter efficiency = 4,761 kWh
- Air conditioner runtime: = 4,761 kWh / 725w = 6.5 hours
- Fridge + Air conditioner runtime = (4,761 kWh - (cooler 55w * 24hours)) / 725w = 4.7 hours
