I would like to put the four ton A/C compressor on a timer or a meter of some kind and have it switch over to a battery for an hour or two per day. Just the A/C, so of there is a power issue it won't bring the whole house down.
I am thinking about using a Tesla Powerwall but maybe regular batteries will do. The stats on the Tesla are
•Inverter: Fully integrated
•Energy: 14 kWh
•Power: 5 kW continuous, 7 kW peak
•Round Trip Efficiency: 90%
•Price $5,500
Initially I will fill the battery at night when the rate is low but eventually I'd like to fill it with solar.
So my question is about the feasibility of a project like this and thoughts on the electrical hook up.
