Yeah, that's what I figured, I will probably go with a 270w panel which is the closest I can get to the 250w in my area, difference in amperage is negligible. Eventually I could add more solar on the property for other uses and channel it in for the fridge if needed. I don't really use much A/C up north, but if we do go south we'd bring along the generator. I like to stay off grid as much as possible.
Pianotuna, why do you suggest the compressor retrofit? One of the motivations to move to residential is that I can get 40% more fridge space in the same real estate. I imagine the retrofit would end up costing roughly the same?
