Thought I'd post here as running the aircon off the inverter is a consideration. 

My current system at home is 5kw with 15kwh battery capacity. I run the house including 1.1kw pool pump without issue. 

During the day while the pump is running my power consumption typically sits at around 1.35kw

I want to get an aircon put into my bedroom... gets too hot here in Jan-March. 

Possibly also one in the office. 

So would likely be running the bedroom one off battery power and the office one off panels.

Both are fairly small rooms. The bedroom is approx 12 square metres. 

What is the best aircon for a bedroom?

Also, I am surrounded by farms and struggle with allergies. Perhaps a unit that also purifies the air? (seen Daikin units clean the air?) 

I do have a standalone air purifier in the room, but would prefer to have less appliances running in the room.

Also of importance.

• Being able to switch off aircon lights during night time operation
• Wifi connection / Google home integration. (not essential, but would be nice)
• Quiet - not blowing air into your face while sleeping.

Thanks! 

 

 

Got about the same size setup and my consumption about same as yours when the pool is running but you did not mention your solar size my solars are 4.4kw 

I have also been looking at an Aircon for one room and decided an 9000btu is best as it consumption is around 1kw the make , will have to see when time comes to buy what's on the market but sooner than later as it's summer now and want to benefit from the Aircon this summer. 

So if anyone can recommend a good 9000btu Aircon  will be appreciated.

I have this one, very quiet, can switch off the light and it has a special power limiting mode for when you are running off battery. Is has no wifi however, but cannot be expected at the price:

I am running the Huawei iSitePower-M 5kw inverter with 15kwh battery storage. (My company sells them, I might put another system in parallel, 2 batteries each)

I went with slightly smaller panels so that I could fit in 2 rows of 4, on the north facing roof. So I have 8 x 425W Trina panels up. 

I've been considering one of the Daikin 9000 btu units for the bedroom. 

So suppose that solar panel kw doesn't matter much, as this is for the bedroom and would be running at night.
