Ah yeah the 10k AC unit would have the highest start up amps and would need to be the first thing loaded. More panels or maxing out to the 6kw solar limit is a fix to this.I tested this at around 3 pm . The panels were just laying on their backs on the ground . The load was 1.6 kw with the two ac units going , I’m not sure what it was with the skill saw going . The only problem i had is , without batteries, I had to start the 10 k btu unit first or it would kick off the inverter. I have some maxwell ultra capacitors that I want to test in place of a battery . The panel voltage was around 330 volts . I did not test like this very long because I was using a light duty cord wired into the inverter. I did run the 6k btu ac for most of the day however
If you look in to the car audio stuff you should be able to find a 12v capacitors batteries. Now I am not sure if you can turn them in to 48v or not. Though I am pretty sure this inverter is only for 48v. Maxwell DuraBlue car Audio Super Capacitor 48V 165F Cost about 700 bucks. It is rated at 54WH 48V 1.2AH which should be enough to keep stuff stable for the better part of the day. A 100% off grid setup and using this all in one inverter, max solar panels maybe enough. Though adding in a capacitor may help and it may not. Though I do not know of anyone who has tested this out short or long term.
I am super impressed that being able to run battery less and grid less works well even for ac units.
A set up like this can work for many people, though the only set back being battery less and grid less is needing to have a lot more solar panels for the smaller loads. Though this would allow someone to build out a starter system ( all in one inverter and solar panels ).
Now all I have to do is save my money up again as I had to use my solar budget to put in a new septic system. Which is kinda a bummer.
