</P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color="black" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">As I tried to explain, I am well aware of surge loads from motor driven equipment, but this is not relavent to this problem. My point was we had 20 emails trying to resolve ways to make something work by minor tweaking things when someone should have told this client - this ain't gonna work with your under-sized system no matter what you do. I assure you that powering a swamp cooler fan is nothing like the power drain from a 3-1/2 ton air conditioning compressor and 1/2 HP supply fan running 12 hours each day. I have engineered the air conditioning systems, chillers, pumps, and air handling units for entire hospitals, research laboratories, university buildings, and hundreds of homes and I believe I have a good understanding of the power requirements for a simple split AC unit as well as the effects of surge loads on the inverter and battery.</SPAN></FONT>

</P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman" color="black" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">I would rather loose a job that I know is wrong, than have it hang around my neck from now on. There are plenty of good solar projects and clients out there who are willing to pay for a system that is properly sized and designed. Sometimes you just have to tell clients they don't have the budget for what they are trying to do and no amount of tweeking will make an under-sized 2 kW solar array power a 5 kW compressor load for very long even if you install 10 inverters to handle the surge load. </SPAN></FONT>
