    I have an in-window AC that runs on full blast at night in the summers on top of my whole-house AC. 58 degrees FTabsoluteW.

          Not gonna do shit at night.

          I bought a battery for mine but you’re about to find how just how much power your AC system uses.

              In relation to how much power you’re going to make.

              Are you buying batteries? Unless you’re buying a whole lot of them ($$$) you’re not even making it one night running your AC like that.

              I spent $10k on a whole home battery and it got me 1/3 of my average daily power use.

              I stress average because summers were double that, sometimes 2.6x.

                Good thing you have a sun for most of the other 2/3.

                  Have you even looked at the power curve of solar system output? You’re being obtuse.

                  Plus you seem to have completely ignored the last portion of my comment.

                  I rarely had months where I zeroed out my bill since I was in an area where credits weren’t a thing. My overproduction was sold back at ~$0.03 per kWh. I had to buy at ~$0.12.

                  You can be snarky if you like. You’re still wrong if you think that’s enough to cover summer days.

      I set my AC to 26°C (79°F) in summers. As far as I know, most people in my country do somewhere between 20 and 26°C (68~79°F).

      Wow. I am impressed from where I sit, in a house with the AC set to 66F, sometimes 65, to save energy vs where we might otherwise set it.
