Jack doesn’t need my stamp of approval, but I will say that I have been thinking about this for a long time, and Jack has nailed it. All the angles are covered, and as Forest says, I am watching with eagle eyes. Jack is pioneering the way forward for the basement air coaches. Technology has moved a bit since the late nineties when the coaches were built and Jack is taking advantage of both the inverter driven AC units and the Lithium energy storage. I absolutely love this thread. The Growatt option to allow 30 amp 120
V plug in to run the 220V mini is the cherry on top. Bravo!!!!!!
The huge upside to this project is the noise control. Any of you who have been in an inverter based AC space know that except in the most extreme conditions, you can’t hear it run. I have been in a few Newells and let’s face it, basement air or roof air, it produces noise which interferes with TV watching. In my opinion the lowest noise AC units inside are the Dometic units from the early 90s. Those were the precursors to mini splits before inverter based motors came along.
