Re cold beer. I run a 5 cubic foot freezer in Mexico on my boat with solar. I freeze jugs of water and use a super insulated cooler to keep beverages cold.
I fould that most panels inly generate 1/2 of there rated performance do get 2x your need. And batteries only yield 1/2 of rated amperage so double that as well. Also, modern freezer / refer only needs to operate at peak power (about 10 amps ac 120v) at start up and then drops to 2 amps for part of every hour.

First, I am not an electrical engineer. So I would appreciate keeping that in mind. What I would appreciate is a recommendation with specific model, make, etc. Of a solar charger with any gizmos built in that could keep my house batteries, two agm (I think 200 amp hour?) topped up while on my mooring. I am thinking of installing a plug in lazarette wired to batteries that could receive plug from the solar charger. Not trying to run my refrigeration, but boy that would be nice! Cold beer when I arrive. Bill Walker CnC 36 Pentwater, Mi.
