Here's what my fridge uses for energy:

I use around 10 amp-hrs a night around here (where it get's pretty cool at night) for the fridge. Our 80 watt portable panel will keep up (just barely) if we don't watch a movie at night. 200 watts should keep up just fine on sunny days. I had 225 watts on the roof but I had issues when it rained for a week so I bumped our total wattage up to 400. I haven't had to run the generator since.
