Boondocking and a/c are incompatible. The only way to run the a/c (reasonably) off grid is with a generator. Producing mains power from a battery bank for a sustained load isn't something easily, compactly, or cheaply done.
Solar is used to recharge the batteries, nothing else. You don't "run" anything on solar.
