 **TL;DR - It is technically possible, but very expensive and complex. Be prepared to spend at //least// $10,000.**
-More expensive than the A/C system itself is everything you'll need to power it. A/C takes a //huge// amount of electricity; to operate successfully off grid you'll need at least 8-12KwHr of lithium batteries, 800-1200w of solar, and the required massive charge controllers to run it all.

 ===== AC vs DC =====
+The biggest decision to make is how you're going to power the A/C system.
