r/SolarDIY is a community on Reddit where users can discuss and share their DIY solar-related projects and ideas. User Skellykitten recently asked if it's possible to use a solar generator setup to power a 10,000 BTU window AC unit.
The original poster, Skellykitten, wants to use a solar power backup generator to power their 10,000 BTU air conditioner unit. They plan to place the solar panels in a sunny window facing the sun all day and connect them to the generator. They then want to plug the AC into the generator when it's time to use the air conditioner.
The feasibility of this plan depends on several factors, including the amount of sunlight the solar panels receive, the efficiency of the solar panels and generator, and the capacity of the generator to handle the load of the air conditioner.
The Reddit community responds with suggestions and advice on whether this plan is reasonable. Some users point out that the amount of sunlight required to power a 10,000 BTU air conditioner unit may be difficult to achieve, especially if the unit is being used during peak energy hours. Others suggest that a smaller air conditioner or more efficient solar panels may be needed.
The Reddit community debate suggests that powering a 10,000 BTU window AC unit with a solar generator setup may be challenging, but not impossible. Careful consideration of the system's capacity, sunlight, and efficiency are essential to determine the feasibility of this setup.
