A 1000 kwh per day fridge would need more than 5 200 watt-hour batteries to run each day, plus probably 300-400 watts of solar panels to charge them. That seems like a lot, but would be useful if you have the capacity.

I assume there is a YT channel for this sort of thing…but any good recommendations?

I’m not wanting to power a fridge per say, but would enjoy learning how to install solar and battery etc for (I’m in Florida and we get good sun):

1. renewable energy mining

2. backup for well pump

Which brings me to a bigger question:

Since by law solar panels can’t be more than ~20% efficient (I think it might be 30%)…is solar realistic?

Oh…and…in a perfect world whatever I do would be portable as I’d like to avoid

A: installing on roof

B. code enforcement / permitting

More like an efficient hobby or science experiment 😎
