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

jshupe,
Do you have a picture of the panels?
What controller are you using?
SiO2 can manage c/4 (25 amps per 100 amp-hours). They don't have to be fully recharged each cycle. Of course, that is no match for the charging rate on Li chemistries, but it is double that of regular flooded.
Fifth wheel:
9x 325W panels, 3x strings of 3 in series, Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/35 controllers
Depending on how much time we spend in the fifth wheel moving forward, we may pull up all the panels and build a raised rack that holds twelve. We've been spending more time in the truck camper lately.
Truck camper:
5x 360W panels, 1x string of 5 in series, Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60 controller.
Truck camper has a Coleman Mach 11 AC unit and we haven't been able to test it in the summer yet. There are no easy provisions for a mini-split in the rig, though I'm still scheming.
