 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 want at least 8-12KwHr of lithium batteries, 800-1200w of solar, and the required massive charge controllers to run it all. If you want to run the A/C //overnight//, be prepared to double that battery bank size.
