We have a off-grid camp and looking to update its solar power. Over the summer we'd love to keep a small 12v or 120v ac fridge there. Just 10 led lights, phone and tool charging. Maybe
100 amp hour battery since just fridge use is the heaviest load. 3 panels -- 1200 watts on the ground. No ac, no well pump. The only reason we're looking at a 12volt system is the high energy loss with many inverters. LiFePO4 batteries?

What is your thoughts?

I think you only need a fridge in July, correct? 🙃

Just kidding.

Any leads on 12v fridges?
