Still 31 outside. I’m using 0.4kw/h running the ac. Sun rise is 7:11am, so 8 am to producing any meaningful power. So 3.2kw to buy power overnight to run the….. fuckit I’m leaving the AC on!

Only reason mine isn't on 24/7 for the next 3 days is concern it'll burn out.

A modern air conditioner is very unlikely to burn out after three days constant use.

I only just got my aircon installed last year and now I'll be moving out - this is the best chance I'll get to make good use of it, I'm running it as much as I want.
