My main concern is to keep my refrig running. It is a residential 12 volt rated at 11 Amps. How many watts of portable solar panels do I need in addition to the 190 Watts panel on my roof?
Your question implies that you want your solar to "run" things, when its main purpose is charging batteries, then the batteries are what run things. Your refer will also run at night, so that's where you need sufficient batteries.
My best answer is get all the solar you can afford and carry.
