Can solar carry AC and microwave?
Days after he started using the solar system to power his appliances, Morris said he found out that a microwave had more power than a 1.5hp air conditioner.
Morris wrote on X:
"With solar, I’ve learnt that microwave has more power than a 1.5hp AC. Maybe your units finish quicker when you over-use your microwave."
When asked what type of solar batteries he was using, Morris said he combines lithium batteries with the other type that uses water.
His words:
"Combination of two types. Lithium and the other one that uses water. I power every single thing in the house without PHCN. AC, freezer, all are on. Although at night, the AC length reduces. Daytime, it’s non-stop."
