See for more themes. | Q5: Welcome to Off Grid living.
Update to April 2026 I contacted an air conditioner expert and he thinks my settings are normal for my air conditioner. This is good news. Update Sep 22 - 2026
I think I found something.
On the machine it says "pay attention"
The unit defaulr low temperature condition (freezing)
This means the machine will NOT operate properly at 5 degrees.
The supplier did not change the parameters for me, for 5 degrees.
So I am instructed to change the defrost interval time,
as defrost every 5 hours - whatever that means?
Please check operation manual? never received one?
So this is why my product never worked from the beginning.
Not my fault. Wrong default settings.
------------
The Lithium Iron Phosphate battery technology is great.
Thanks to Custom Lithium
The 310 Amp/hr battery cost me $5,000
Three 100|50 Solar Controllers $800
Solar panels cost me about $7,000
The air conditioner unit cost me about $6000
So the total cost to keep a room cool was about $19,000
Seems expensive hey?
The system is to run for 10 years, and in theory saves ( 0.25 x 24 x 365 x 10 = $22,000)
So you more or less break even on the first 10 years.
On the next block of 10 years, replace the batteries, and repair / replace compressor
Estimate costs $10,000
So you end up being $12,000 in front after 20 years of use.
