110v Residential fridge install
Hey Everyone, I finally made up my mind regarding the replacement of my failed 6cu. ft. RV fridge in my little 5er. I decided to go with the Whirlpool model #WRT111SFAW 10.7 cu. ft. "apartment" ...

For a 10cf fridge 50 AH a day is very little indeed. Almost twice less than in the specs. It will probably shoot 40-50% higher on a hot day and night. Check the inside temps btw, if they are 4 and 40 respectively.
I wonder where the condenser is. Sometimes it's in the side wall, and then you need a clearance from cabinet walls.
Solar... In the same moderate temps, and with very strict energy conservation (which usually means no 120V devices other than TV), expect to draw 30 AH a day, so this is 80 AH with fridge. Assuming the fridge numbers are correct, and again, in moderate temps. To reliably harvest 80 AH on most days in winter, even in sunny South West, you need 400W flat panel. On a rainy winter day in PNW such a panel won't collect more than 15 AH.
94% efficiency of inverter is impressive, I have to say.
