solar
I just want to operate a residential fridge thru my inverter. How many 12v batteries and will a 100w panel work?

Start with an energy audit. Decide how much reserve capacity you want. From that design the battery bank. Build a solar panel system that will recharge the battery bank.
This is the proper way to go about it. If you refuse to do an audit or don't have the ability to do so for some reason, most 18-22cf residential refrigerators use around 2kWh/day, which will need to be added to your assumed base load.
