Mini split

Hi I’m brand new to solar and am just now beginning to build a system. I just purchased a 12000 btu Rheem mini split heat pump and was wondering if it is feasible to run it with Solar power?
Thank you

So the answer is -- YES ... with that said you will now need to back your requirements into the voltage and amperage that you feel that this requires ...

meaning -- if you live in South Texas where our days are already in the lower 90's and we literally are starting to run our A/Cs 24/7 .. then our requirements for much more solar panels and battery storage will be higher/greater than if you are in Wisconsin ...

does that make sense ...

BUT YES .... we run dozens and dozens of our mini-splits off of pure solar ....

Yes. If you have enough space for the panels and enough money for all of the equipment.

Yes, you can run anything you want on solar.
