Good info. I think the best plan for those on a budget is to first be able to keep your phone and computer/laptop powered. Then your fridge and microwave.

I have three fridges, small ones, that I turn 90 degrees so the door opens upwards. A cold one at 42F for meat and dairy. A chilling one at 50F for drinks and produce, and a freezing one at 30F for long term storage. Saves me about 25% electricity consumption annually compared to my old one-in-all unit.

Newer fridges and freezers have inverters which lessens the surge power when the compressor kicks in.

i previously asked about air conditioners on one of your more recent videos but it seems as though i've somewhat found my answer. since both use compressor technology i assume it is the same. i would just need the power consumption of the air conditioner as well as the amount of time it runs for. though i must say i'm still unsure in regards to starting/surge watts.

Starting power can differ greatly. ideally you should measure it with a current meter that can measure peak amps. Not all current clamp meters have this functionality. I also recommend using a low frequency inverter to start AC's and pumps. I made a video about low vs high frequency inverters.

Really good video. My fridge "from the 90's" only has 115 volts and 6.5 amps on the label. Volts X Amps = 747.5 watts, However when I plug my Kill-A-Watt meter in I get 121 volts, 1.6 amps and 180 watts at start up and 165 watts running. I'm not that great at math but trying to figure it all out. I'm building a 24 volt system with 8 LiFeOp4 batteries and 600 watts of solar panels "per my charge controller" to start. I will probably add another charge controller and 600 more watts of panels. My charge controller is a EpEver 6415 AN and only allows a max of six 100 watt panels for a 24 volt battery bank. I was hoping you could fill me in on how to do the math. I'm pretty sure I have enough batteries to run the fridge for days. Thank you for any help.

The amp rating is probably the DC rating of the compressor. So your kill a watt meter will be right. I have made a video about sizing your system and charge controller. Make sure to check them out.

Hello, I have some questions. What's the model of your fridge? During all your measurements were you using this device normally? I mean if you used it to do meals and other? And how many energii will my fridge use if it would be used aproximatelly by 12 hours and opened very often (during party all night)? I have to buy fridge and I have many doubts about using energy because I am planning use to this solar system. Thanks for your response.

It's an IKEA fridge. Opened approximately 20 times a day. Opening a fridge is not that bad. Just have a lot of volume in it like water bottles to keep it cool.

@@cleversolarpower So how do you think? How much energy will my fridge use during all day including 12 hours party? How much by 12 hours party and 12 hours normal day when fridge will not be opened. My fridge uses 121kWh per year.

your website recommends running multiple inverters in parallel if we need more than 4000w of power. how would we do that? i can't seem to find a video of yours explaining how to do so.
