That's a mighty nice looking unit. I see there is an electric outlet and a TV cable outlet on the kitchen sink apron. Is that standard now, or did someone add it?
As Padgett says, everything electrical except the air conditioner can be run on an extension cord from a 15-amp outlet. If you have a 12-gauge extension cord, and can find a 20-amp outlet (there is sometimes one in the laundry area - one of the slots is T-shaped), you may be able to run the air conditioner if you start it up slowly. I know I can. Just be sure no one tries to plug the big cord into a dryer outlet (220 volts).
As for water, again I agree with Padgett. You don't need a lot of water to test things, and it will be relatively clean water. Dump it on the driveway, dump it on the lawn, dump it in a bucket and carry it inside.
Ask him to start the refrig at least three hours before you arrive. If the refrig area doesn't seem cold, put you hand on the floor of the freezer - that is the first place you will feel coldness.
I don't know how to do a quick test of the solar system. Ideas, folks?
