Solar Panel For Small Refrigerator

A word of caution.

Solar panel for small refrigerator.

If we assume a 5 5 x 3 foot solar panel 200 to 250 watts would generate about 0 75 kwh per day it would take three of those panels to power a fridge that uses 46 wkh per month. Batteries are needed to store the power that the refrigerator will use at night or when clouds block the sun. At face value it seems like this implies the fridge comes with a solar panel that runs the fridge on its own. The solar panels will charge the battery and keep it ready to supply power to your fridge.

They do not include any power generating equipment unless shown or specified. The title solar refrigerator can be a little deceiving.

While these units do exist solar powered refrigerator freezers are actually just efficient enough fridges that can handle the lower energy input of solar set ups.

Even the best off grid solar refrigerator will only work as well as the solar panels used and the level of sun you receive. Otherwise all solar panels charge controllers and other dc generators are sold separately. Here are a couple panels that would be good options though with varying wattage levels. Divide that by 30 kwh per month per solar panel and you get 3 8 solar panels.

A solar power setup suitable for refrigerator use requires several devices in addition to solar panels. This solar refrigerator category displays all dc refrigerators that can be run on solar wind hydro or battery systems. The average refrigerator found in the united states uses approximately 57 kwh per month while the average freezer uses 58 kwh for a combined total of 115 kwh.

A bit of quick math and conversion to kwh will tell us that each solar panel produces about 30 kwh per month. If you have an inverter it will need to handle about twice as much as the maximum load so a 2 200w inverter should work for this example. The solar panels have to be connected to a battery and inverter to provide power to your fridge.
