Midea 5,000 BTU AC Powered by My Solar Generator (Delta Pro) During Power Outage

In this video, I show what we do to cool our room when there is a power outage during the summer. We use a Delta Pro and extra battery, six 100W solar panels, and a Midea 5,000 BTU window air conditioner. Don’t forget… This setup works great when your power is still on but the AC stops working. Also, if you have a gas generator as well, you can run the AC on it in the day and the portable power station battery at night if the neighbors and HOA don't mind and if you don't mind neighbors knowing what you have. Then, if the gas gen is big enough, charge the battery up at the same time you run the AC the next day.

I’m reviewing our Midea 5,000 BTU AC. We bought ours at Walmart. The model we bought from Walmart is MAW05M1WWT. It appears to be the same unit as the one in the Amazon link, but there is a different model number.

During the review, I unplugged the panels for about 25 minutes or so to attempt to reposition the panels because there were clouds and a lot of smoke, but it didn't help.

For us, if we can stretch it though most of the day with solar, we can run it for much of the night on the battery. In the morning, I can use solar to charge it. If I don’t want to wait, I can take my Delta Pro to an EV station that is up and running to give it a really fast charge.

This unit is not meant to be a portable system. Be sure to read the manual for safety advise etc… For example, occasionally, the unit will need to be drained in humid environments.

You can buy a support bracket for the unit, if you like, when placing it out the window.
