i would like to run a 13.5 A/C unit with this how many panels would need? carrier AirV 13.5

Glad to help! Is the 13.5 number you mentioned the Amp load? The Amp load is one of the two pieces of information that would be very helpful. The other would be how long you would estimate the AC unit would be running per 24 hours. With those two pieces of information we can calculate how many panels would be needed and the battery bank size needed for your power storage requirements. Regards, Lisa, for Explore Electric

You run the panels to a charge controller. These put out 3.33 amps roughly. If you have a charge controller that can handle 15 amps, you could run 4 of these together.

I think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

what little I do now is that heating is the most demanding and you would need multiple of these not sure how many.In addition there is battery load to consider you see your panels are only as good as were you are storing the excess solar energy & that means batteries and plenty of them!Hope my answer is helpful to you I will say building a small system for myself forced me to learn more about solar.

you need 2 mc4 t connectors per 2panels to hook together so if you get six you will need 8 pus 3 for a total of eleven; for just instance i have 4 panels w/ 4 mc4 t connectors plus one to connect the four into one line you have to hook all panels into one line

Not sure...I am not an AC guy...I just connected the wires and turned it on...If if helps, one of our units is a gas pack. Heat and AC in one unit. Works fine..

I don't believe your service panel has enough amperage for this model. I think 220 volts coming in from main. Then the property using this model will need an update interior panel.

This unit is strictly 125 volts. Make sure your a/c is 125 volts, not 250 volts. This generator can easily power the coffee pot and a small microwave oven, but I think the A/C should be run by itself. I haven't had any problems with powering two gas furnaces and the usual household appliances. I do not try to run them all at the same time. Also, be sure to use heavy gauge extension cords. I use 12 gauge and have not experienced any problems. I use only 89 octane Shell gasoline and treat it with Sea Foam. My unit always starts on the first pull.Good luck.

Im running 5 x250 watt panels. This 1000 watt GT inverter has worked wonderfully for me.

Portable units generally use more power than window units so yes, your best bet to run it low if you are going to go with this one. I found window units to be much more cooling overall, though don't know the exact comparison in costs as I have lived in rental units that had a flat fee for a/c units in the summer regardless of the model.

I actually have 4 of these 100W panels, with 3 VMAXtanks Vmaxsir 125 AGM deep cycle 12V 125ah rechargeable batteries. Today I ran 3 circuits in my house. One for the computer, the A/C motor on my central A/C, and my refrigerator. This configuration is exceeding my expectations!

The 5 panel should fit. It will also give you a wider view than the 4 panel.

Hello, In order to add 3 more panels you will need at least one pair of branch connectors, however this will boost your system to 24V. If you would like to maintain 12V you will need 3 pairs of the branch chain connectors. Thank you, Sam Evans Customer Service Representative

the wagan 10000 should be ran with more than one battery as it will draw hard and wear your battery out a lot sooner i would suggest a 2500 orat the most a5000 watt. the big ? is how many watts is the a/c unit?then get an inverter a little bigger than that so you wont over work your inverter. i am running 18 6volt batteries with mine. theyrun down about every 4 to 6 days. i hope this helps you out. p.s. stay away from aims inverters they do not put out what they say. wagan is your best bet for the price.

I bought two panels, have not installed them yet. Starting out with 4 batteries @ 100 amps, plan on going to 8 and adding two more panels

Put some 2.4s on each side and build out the sides of the frame to fit the a/c
