Mr Wiz's system goes way back in the past. Panels were being added with time, mismatching is a byatch. Between this and inverter losses of 120V fridge, I would guess some 15-20% of energy is lost.
A lot depends on where you are. I'm shaking my head when snowbirds in desert are complaining that solar can't handle all their loads, so they need to run a genny once a day. No AC in daytime, no freezing temps in the night, hardly any rain, no shade. It can't get any better than that. With LP fridge a 300W flat solar will handle everything in these conditions, and they mostly have LP.
2*6V is marginal for long-term solar boondocking, even without compressor fridge. Doable with 400W, on a strict energy diet, and with LP fridge. Weekend stay is different.
