Good video showing the practical use of the devices shown. You could have just "done the math", but that's boring and often doesn't tell the whole story.

knowing how many panels it would need to get through winter or a hot summer would be very interesting. DC to DC is very effecient.. many of those types of fridges will run happily at 24 volts too.

That's true. 24v would be better. I plan on doing more testing with the setup. Thanks for the comment.

I am thinking about one of those 12v refrigerators and kind of concerned with the power usage especially in the winter time in PA when we not only get limited daylight hours but also poor sun. I have increased both battery capacity and more panels to cope with poor solar conditions in winter. This is at our completely off grid cabin. So far I have decided against purchasing a 12v refrigerator and stick with the gas refrigerator we have been using for years. It works the same year around, sun or not. I was hoping the 12v refrigerator would be less costly to run but when you figure in the cost of the unit, the power usage and the uncertainty during low light conditions I decided to just keep using what has worked for us for years. I really don't know how much propane the refrigerator uses but it doesn't seem excessive.

I have a 35 liter (10 gallon?) 12v/24v compressor fridge. A 100Ah lifepo4 keeps it running like 3 days with 8C. Dont need much solar to keep it going. The brand is..well, 4Use..its chines made. Not Danfoss compressor but 4 years sitting in my work car duribg summer just chugging along.

Good video. Did you find out what went wrong with the EB3A? I use AC70 with ICECO VL45 and charge with 100W panel (80W actual power), I can run it 24/7 as long as I have a good Sun.

Not yet. I'm hoping it's the solar panel plug. I'll be trying a different one later.

Come on man! This is not a very scientific experiment. 1) the power station should have been fully charged at the start, 2) the solar panels should have been in the sun the entire time the sun was out. No way of making an accurate conclusion since we have no idea how long the shadows were on the panels. 30 something should have been in the cooler, even if it was a gallon of water. However, your dog is beautiful so I call this a success! I have a 45 l Iceco and it runs great hooked up to a cheap Bibene power station hooked up to 100w Rockpals. I gave you a like to help the channel. At least you are making content but it could be better if it were more accurate.
