DRAFT — outline only. Do not publish until the figures below are verified. Keep this guide inactive until it is written.
Angle: Answer the single most common homeowner question about solar and cooling.
This guide must answer: - How much system capacity does running an AC need? - Does net metering make this work even when the AC runs at night? - What size system suits a home with 1-2 ACs? - What about backup during a cut while the AC is running?
Writing rules: answer the question in the first two sentences, put a real number in the opening paragraph, name the specific city or DISCOM where the answer varies, and link to two related guides and the relevant category page.
Verify before publishing: AC load figures and sizing maths — cross-link the sizing calculator.
