I want a solar powered greenhouse in AZ, where the solar panels are used solely to run an AC unit, keeping temps down during the day - without using inverters or batteries. With some large water barrels in the greenhouse, it should maintain temps down during the night. Is this practical? The solar panels don’t necessarily need to be on the greenhouse itself, as I have plenty of land. Trying to do this as cheap as possible. Any ideas?

- jmpman 1y agoThanks for the link. Is it difficult to find just DC powered Air Conditioning units? What’s different? Any concerns about intermittent running? Clouds or partial shading of panels from leaves? Should such a device include a super capacitor capable of running it for a few minutes to ensure there aren’t brownouts which will cause problems for the compressor?
