However, I also include using a nitrogen tank to pressure test the system and check for leaks. Since this mini-split can run on straight 240V (no neutral) I can run this on my Growatt inverters that I installed in a previous video. Actually, I could install up to 5 of these mini-split air conditioners on just one Growatt 5000 inverter. That's a cool way to move some loads off the grid.
