Hey Drake, Because of the very low cost of producing power by PV solar, I always recommend a standard, high efficiency refrigerator. It doesn’t makes sense to by speciality refrigerators that cost 2-4 times times the price of ‘off the shelf” brands. Many brands have models that use about 1 kWh per day. That means you can make the power it takes to operate it for under $500.
Look here at kWh/Year: https://www.energystar.gov/most-efficient/me-certified-refrigerators Larry On Jun 27, 2017, at 7:25 AM, Drake <drake.chamber...@redwoodalliance.org> wrote: Hello Wrenches, What is your preferred refrigerator for off grid installations? We are looking for a medium sized, commercially available unit that won't break the bank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
