I ended up going with a 36k Daikin, consisting of two 12k ceiling cassettes, and one 12k concealed duct unit. I couldn't be happier. It runs perfectly with my off-grid solar setup. It pulls a lot of energy ~4k when I run all three to try to drastically change the temp, but keeping the...

Thanks! I'll check out Zen models.

Do you know what model it is? Hyperheat/non-hyper heat? Also, are the two on a multi-head condenser or do both have their own? Thanks!

How long have you had your mrcools? I've seen a ton of mixed reviews and have read Mitsubishi is the gold standard of mini-splits...

What mini split do you have and for how long have you had it?...Nevermind...just saw your earlier post.

I've got 4 5.12kw 100A eg4 48V batteries and a sol-ark 15k. I've read that most "inverter compressor" mini-splits ramp up slowly to prevent what you're describing.

I'm considering a 9k concealed duct for a 270sqft 2nd story loft, 12k for 600sqft living room, and 12k concealed duct for downstairs bathroom, utility room and bedroom. I'll prob do the install myself too, but have the hvac company charge the lines.

Thanks for your reply. What about Fujitsu?

Thanks for your reply. How many sqft are you conditioning with your 42k unit?

I was wondering if anyone was using 24k or 36k Mitsubishi mini splits off-grid? I was told today by an HVAC guy it wouldn't work, but Daiken or Fujitsu would. I've read multiple other threads here, but didn't see anyone mention that they had Mits and were completely off-grid. Thanks in advance!

I'm using the Sol-Ark 15k. In the manual it says that the switch along the side of the inverter to turn off PV source satisfies NEC 240.15. It should also satisfy 690.15 and 690.17, but the question is, does it satisfy 690.13A if the inverter is located inside a utility room?

If you have a readily accessible rapid shutdown switch located outside of a building, do you still need a DC disconnect switch beside it? Inside, the inverter has a built-in DC Disconnect for the solar panel wires. Technically, the rapid shutdown switch would be safer right, as it reduces the...

Based on the specs, I think both of the inverters I'm considering are all-in-one devices that include the charge controllers. Good idea though about expanding the battery capacity.

I'm sure there are a billion posts comparable to this, so I apologize in advance. I'm setting up a new off-grid solar solution to power a cabin. I'm thinking I'll need ~8kw a day when I'm out there, but I will likely only ever be there for two consecutive days. That said, I never want to run...
