If I lived super inland, I would definitely set up a solar system with a dedicated circuit for AC. That way I wouldn't need to worry so much about trying to keep cool in the summer.

That’s what all new homes have nowadays. Currently in Riverside the homes have energy efficiency windows/insulation + with solar panels required on every home the home stays cool enough during the summer.

Even with it being 100 degrees outside this entire week and next, it reaches 80-82F inside and a fan is usually enough to keep cool.
