DC Powered Air Conditioner Unit - Experiences?

DC Powered Air Conditioner Unit - Experiences?

Greetings All,

Can anyone chime in with their experiences with a DC powered A/C units? I have a small shed (10x16) that I would like to convert to an office...It probably would be cheaper to trench a 120v line out to it...but then I'd have to worry about permits...and it wouldn't be as much "fun"

There appears to be a few options out there - 48v-72v mini splits, 12v+48v RV/Camper Roof mounted units, etc...the used market for RV/Camper roof mounts seem plentiful and much more affordable - any major cons on this route?

I was thinking if I setup the system for 48v or 72v it should simplify the system - panels ($89 home depot specials) set in series + a bunch of salvaged/junkyard deep cycle batteries in series...with enough batteries, a good controller and the batteries housed in the (A/C'ed shed - set to 80F when not in use) - the batteries should last a while? All this would need to be calculated of course...but looking for experiences from folks who used DC powered AC units and if they had any recommendation first :-)

Thanks in advance!

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.
