Could you add some technical context to above statement?
I get not wanting to run an air conditioner (cost prohibitive) from solar, but I don't understand why microwave, coffee maker, or hair dryer must be excluded.
These things only run for a few minutes each, so the total amount of energy used/required isn't that great. As long as the inverter and battery bank are sized to handle the power for a few minutes, why won't solar make it back up over many hours?
If not for these things, what do you use solar for? Lights, TVs, fans, etc.?
