Currently I have 2 inverts and my battery bank in a shed (no garage) they functioned fine all summer last year but I worry about how hot they get (no actual readings), but high desert heat (dry, 90-100+ summers).I'd like to add some cooling but not take a lot of power, my ideas.1 - use an upright AC that I have (lots of power)2 - use a window AC unit I have (lots of power)3 - swamp cooler (can power direct with smaller extra solar panels I have, humidity)Would a humidity increase of the swamp cooler be more detrimental than heat? I'd add some exhaust vents to help humidity as well.I've also considered rigging up a 2 stage swamp cooler (take the cool water from the swamp cooler and run it through a radiator instead of using the air.) Less efficient, no humidity. Any budget friendly ideas? Not trying to make it chilly, just keep equipment happy. I'll probably add some networking equipment out with it as well.
