Hi i recently moved to Hawaii and bought some land off grid. Im looking to power a 12v refrigerator and some led lights. Whats is the best and cost effective product out there?
 
Welcome Hawaii Hank!

Check out the FAQ pages, they'll answer most of the upfront questions you have. To power a refrigerator and led lights you need to know how many watts they consume in a day. That'll give you watts/d. Then you need to make a guesstimate for how many days of shade you'll have to oversize your batteries. Same concept for how many watts of panels you need. But...go through the FAQ and then come back with specific questions as those will be a lot easier. There are also a number of examples that folks have put together you can find by perusing the forums.
 
That is not a lot to go on.

How much power in watt hours does the fridge consume per day?
What is the total watt hour budget for the lights per day?
How many days of autonomy do you wish?
