Yes, I've got a place off-grid. Refrigeration is no problem. I've got a Sundanzer super-efficient fridge made for off-grid. Runs on 12-24 volts DC (or 120 VAC). 5.8 cubic foot storage. Draws 77 watt-hours per day at 70 degrees F, 168 watt-hours at 90 degrees F, etc. So - at 70 degrees F it draws an average of less then one amp per hour (actually 1/4 amp per hour at 12 volts). At 90 degrees F it draws 1/2 amp per hour at 12 volts. An el-cheapo Walmart 12 volt marine-RV battery rated at 110 amp-hours could run the fridge for a week at 70 degrees F before needing a recharge. My point being it takes very little power to run a good fridge made for off-grid. One 100 watt solar panel hooked to a battery would easily power the fridge with the battery never reaching discharge- even with half the days dark and cloudy. A 100 watt panel on a sunny day will produce over 800 watts-hours on a summer day and 500 watt-hours on a bright and short winter day.

In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
