Solar powered 20 cu. ft. refrigerator/freezer on 4-6 amps ...LiFePO4 system

[@JR-kk6ce]

I first saw this video on my smart TV. For some amazing reason there was no naration, just some music that kept playing over and over. Amazingly, it perfectly conveyed my joy at finally seeing you reach your goal.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Haha! That's funny, I hope that means you watched it twice! Although my narrative was a bit disjointed from sheer excitement...aloha 🤙

My wife loves this refrigerator. No more hard compressor starts making the TV shut down and the lights flicker. Thanks for the review.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

I'm loving this refrigerator too! Super efficient, quiet, and quiet! I didn't want to hear any noise, and unless I am right next to it, wouldn't know it's running. Mahalo for tuning in, and your feedback 🤙

[@ohiowoodburner]

Our current fridge is from 2003 and my meter shows it uses 130 watts when running. You are doing great with that one!

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Yeah, so far so good...loving it!🤙

[@howardescoffery4950]

Mines from 2007 runs at 160w, I just went off and bought me a 4 star one.

[@NeverTakeNoShortcuts]

I’m about ready to make this exact same jump. Running propane for 18 years…Amazing you can run this from the sun only

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Take the plunge...you'll be happy you did! aloha 🤙

Congratulations on your new refrigerator!

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Thank you!

[@curtchase3730]

Good choice. I think because it's inverter powered (internally), compressor ramps up slowly instead of old skool compressor that hammers the AC line to kick it over. The lower start surge of an inverter type fridge reduces spike on your DC to AC inverter.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Yeah Curt, it is the inverter compressor and so far, absolutely loving it! Just running it through some testing and watching it. I'm very pleased with how it's working , and will follow up at some point on what I learn. Thank you for being part of the conversation here...aloha 🤙

[@howardescoffery4950]

My brother please can you tell me the difference between a four star refrigerator and a inverter refrigerator?

[@robertmeyer4744]

looks great ! love new appliance . I have smaller GE emergency star . what a difference ! my old was GE made in 1978 ! big drop in power . still hard wire 12ga Romex cable. UL . you could use stranded wire but need crimp terminal to use on plug. remember 120V ac power safety ! go to inverter manual and check AC ground . my inverter had a ground lug and I put that to a ground rod 8FT . and can use GFIC outlet . that appliance is metal on the outside. ground if for shock hazard. also check manual on solar charge controller about grounding . I have morning star and it has a ground terminal for earth ground . keep a watch on system . don't know if your meter has a watthour or kilowatt hour . want that for 24 daily usage. make Shure you fill out warranty card send it in. I did mine online .

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Hey good morning to you Robert, and thanks as always for your considerate suggestions. My inverter, and charge controller both have small ground terminals and I plan to use on both as well as use the 12 guage hardwire. Don't think I can get an 8ft. rod in place here...solid lava rock under the house. I've been thinking about just drilling into the concrete pad in utility room with a short rod and calling it good. Not sure yet how to best do this. I want everything safe of course, so still studying best methods for this environment....many thanks for all you do for everyone here...aloha 🤙

I was looking forward to this video. I was looking for a new refrigerator. Thank you 🤙🏼

Finally got here, now trying to finish up the ongoing project! Aloha 🤙

Congratulations that is very impressive

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

thank you, having fun with it!🤙

[@TheTimshady337]

Wow! I have a side by side and I draw 3 times as much. It is 17 years old though. It must be an inverter compressor. By using an inverter controlled motor, it can vary the speed of a more efficient motor. They have them in air conditioner units also.

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Yes, you're absolutely right, it's got the inverter compressor...those words eluded me completely while filming...mahalo!🤙

[@pitsmcgoo]

I have the same refrigerator Electricity bill went down from $185 a month to $55 a month

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Yes, this fridge is amazing! Aloha!🤙

[@larrybell4599]

Great video..What inverter are you using to keep the battery drain so low?

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Was using a PSWcon 1500 watt pure sine wave. No longer available that I am aware of. Cheap, but pretty good little inverter.🤙

Thanks

Congratulations on your new fridge and batteries setup. Thanks for all your help. Where did you get your fridge from? I'm out in Hawaiian acres getting ready to buy a fridge. Aloha 🤙

[@ProjectsinParadise808]

Hey thanks for tuning in! Happy to help. Home Depot in Hilo is where I ordered it from...took a couple months to get here. I know quite a few people in the acres...nice! Aloha 🤙

What’s the volts and amps of this refrigerator? And sticker wattage?

[@MiningChef]

Can we get an update

[@rager2700]

Can I get the brand and model of the refrigerator? please and thanks

[@curtchase3730]

It's an LG Model (I think) is LTSC20020S. As of this writing, LG's website shows it on sale for $800.00USD. Not bad. Optional ice maker is available too.

[@michaelgoldman3812]

The compressor on a refrigerator can draw 3 times the running draw, in you case about 60 watts, for 25% of the time. You failed to provide the total wattage over a significant period of time. e.g. total wattage for 12 hours. You also failed to say how many watts of solar consumed during your test.

[@BobBob-il2ku]

What’s the model # of the fridge?

[@1981dasimpson]

your measuring ac that means nothing on an off grid system as it is the power been used from the battery is what you really need to know
