I don't doubt your facts either, but some calculations are in order. The larger Nova Kool units use the larger Danfoss compressor set at about 5 amps. If your unit does great and only runs about half time, that adds up to at least 60 AH per day. At this time of year at 37 degrees latitude, 200 watts of solar can only generate a maximum of 50 amp hours per day in full sun, all day with no clouds!
