Can I feed enough current to a residential type fridge with two 6 volt batteries like Trojan 105's ? I do have a Honda EU3000 generator but would like to add some amount of solar. Assuming a fridge of the size I'm needing draws 1 amp on 110 how large of an inverter allows some safety margin ? The only item that would be on the inverter would be the fridge.
Because of startup current involved with a compressor type fridge I recommmend a 1000 watt sine wave inverter properly installed. The two six volts batteries would be more than ample if they are dedicated to the fridge. I also recommend a 160 watt solar panel as an addition to whatever you already have. In fair weather conditions the single panel will be enough of a contribution to the system to offset the use of the fridge assuming normal duty cycles of the compressor.
Good luck.
