I need to update my previous A/C load values reported.

I've realized that I had taken those in the evening, so it looks like my solar array was contributing to lower than expected numbers load numbers (despite it being well after 6 pm in March when I took those readings).

Here are my actual load numbers (today) with my breakers to the solar array switched off and 80 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature:

1350 Watts with the AC on high
1280 Watts with AC on low
187 Watts fan high
125 Watts fan low.

I do not see any major spikes to 1800 Watts through Victron Connect (when my A/C compressor kicks in) but am adding an A/C soft start as a proactive measure.
