The Go Power Solar Extreme Charging System - 570 Watt Solar Panels - 3,000 Watt Inverter Charger # 34282185 paired with a battery bank is the largest solar system available from Go Power and will run an A/C and small appliances. A/C's are one of the biggest power draws you can have. While this system will run them, it will still be limited compared to shore power or generator power as far as how long they will last.

It is compatible with sealed/gel, AGM, flooded/wet cell, and lithium batteries. With lithium batteries being your best option. You would want 4-6 100 amp hour 12v batteries for your battery bank. Wanting to run an A/C and appliances I recommend going with the larger battery bank.

How long it will last will depend on how much power you are using. I have included a link to an article that helps you figure out how much power you are using.
