As the title says i want to add a 20 amp breaker to power a split ac. I would not be doing the install myself as I am not an electrician but would like to get an idea if this can be done?

I currently have a franklin solar system with an Agate and aPower 2 battery. I wanted to add an ac unit which required a dedicated 20 amp breaker.

My current setup is as follows that was wired by the solar contractor.

During day, solar produces and powers the house, surplus goes to the batteries and then gets exported to the grid after the batteries are charged.

During night, batteries power the house, imports from the grid if the batteries are depleted.

During an outage, batteries only power selected equipments.

So if i wanted the ac unit to function the same as above meaning gets powered by solar at day, batteries at night and stop power during an outage where does one put the breaker?

My handy man says he can only put the breaker on the main panel like normal how it is does. He does not know how to wire the new breaker to the agate to function like above. I am not sure but is any further wiring required between the new breaker and agate so that it pulls from the batteries and solar when available?

Thanks
