Agreed with enthusiasm
In the tropics shelf life is critical. I "try" to keep things as cold as possible. The refrigerator does not actually damage produce or fruit at 32 degrees. Actual item temp. Sensitive stuff is kept nearer the door. I have a Pabst fan on 24/7

Tiny fans aid cooling of both condensers. My son in law drove to an American enclave and bought seven used panels off lady who was bailing out. Quicksilver now has 11 panels making it autonomous. The 7 panels are alongside not mounted on the roof until I get home.
