Hi
I’ve got a bush shed and just starting in solar. I would like to run a fridge of solar my old gas one gave up on me.
I’ve been given 8 190w panels and have a 1500w modified sine wave inverter.
I would like advice on where to put my money to finish the project.
First use the 240v fridge freezer I’ve got or buy the flash 12-24v solar fridge?
Batteries- based on above might be as many as four 100 amp/hr ones to run 240v fridge, yes? Solar fridge uses 40amp hours a day apparently. Not sure about 240v fridge because it doesn’t run all the time I’m thinking it could need 200amp,hours a day (guess) maybe more.
Controller. What size to manage 8 panels into 12 or 24 volt array. Only thinking 12 cause I’ve got the 12v inverter but that could be sold to get a 24v one if it’s cost effective and helps with battery array costs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
