You are using brute force to overcome the heat with 5 A/C units. Consider building porches on the South and West of the casita to shade the structure. Also, maybe dig earth tubes to passively cool. The ground a few feet down or below a meter has a mild environment and may assist in maintaining milder temps.
I painted the roof of my 1kw AC cooled shipping containers. We had a 96F day both a week before and a week after I painted the roofs. Before painting hottest temp was 94F. After painting with a single coat, the hottest temp was 78F. I used "APOC 243" from lowes. 5 gallons for $100, 3.5 gallons coated 1000sqft. My containers are partially shaded by trees. I am in Alabama 30 miles from the gulf coast, so fairly far south in the USA,
Thank you for sharing your experience! That’s an impressive temperature difference, and the ‘APOC 243’ sounds like a great option. Since our roof doubles as a rooftop patio, I’ll check if the paint is rated for foot traffic. But I’ll definitely look into it-thanks again for the recommendation!
You seem like an intelligent man. Stop the thumb nail game... Besides looking stupid this was a Great video. Hit plat by accident. Was going to change channel but hearing you talk. I watched u went with Eg4 3k but I'm in RV can never have enough panels 🤛👍😊😊
ive been running my growatt 12k for about 6 years now i would say dont use battery communication make sure you set your charging amps to 180amps to get full wattage from solar battery communication will throttle that

Thanks for the suggestion! You're right, relying on A/C does feel like brute force sometimes. Fortunately, we only need AC 2-3 months of the year.
Nice that it's working out for you, you need as much electricity as you can get!
Yes we do. The past few days have been amazingly cool and we are loving it.

Thanks for the comment and watching. I will change the thumbnail sometime today.

This is very interesting. It has never crossed my mind. If you don't mind, what are your settings?
Which country is this? You mention the temperatures in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit.
Hi, we’re in Mexico on the Baja side.
How many batteries do you have?
we are running 5.
@@rvseeingyou 200ah per battery? Just trying to get a better idea. Thanks!
@naturalnines5471 no each is 100ah.
Growatt is the problem, terrible inverters, commonly known as "nowatt"
As I mentioned in the video, it’s wasn’t my first choice. But surprisingly, it has been good for me.
