Er... flat 550W? with MW and possibly other AC loads? Let's say "for most days in May through August in SoCal" :). In December it won't harvest enough for that fridge alone.

Try 100/12*8 hours = 67Ah. On 12/24/14 in Oceanside (S CA) I harvested 113Ah on 750W flat or 113*550/750 = 83Ah.

AC and clouds are a deal buster but otherwise he should be OK with the same conditions.

Additional loads, 50% refer cycle time, etc are of course factors.
