We live in a large home without ideal orientation for solar. Therefore our Tesla solar/powerwall system was not designed to operate our air conditioners during a blackout. There simply wasn't enough power to drive them along with other house loads, so the entire AC circuit was excluded.
In an extended summer blackout it would be helpful to have at least one room cool, so I'm thinking about buying a semi-portable AC which I'd store until needed. Some of you have written about issues starting up an AC when running from PW, so if you have a recommendation for the electrical qualities I should look for in an AC unit that would be really helpful.
Thanks.
