 +> We started dwelling at the beginning of the month with a 100w panel. Trying to use a fridge drained our 230ah golf cart batteries to 11.7v and now we just use the fan and so far after 6 days, the 100w panel can't seem to make a dent and get the batteries charged. - [deleted-unknown]((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/56adnx/im_about_to_buy_a_solar_system_but_i_have_no_clue/d8htyw4/)) [note from secessus:  reports of failure are at least as important as reports of success!
  
  
 +> Dometic CFX 35 12V compressor fridge, 105 amp deep cycle house battery with manual switch run off the van battery. The fridge will run 2 days off the house battery before charging. I have a 100 watt portable solar panel which depends on where you are and amount of sun etc. In Arizona it mostly keeps the fridge running full time but in Canada the solar is spotty at best. - hobitarm((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/dzt9df/questions_for_minivandwellers/f8up5p7/))

 +> We run 2 ~60w laptops, 2 phones, lights and a fridge (all 12v) on 600 Watts of panels with 3 125ah batteries. It works well unless it's overcast and rainy for a few days in a row.  We started with 400w and upgraded after running the batteries too low a few times.
