 +> 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/))

 +> I've got a 320 AH battery and 2 125W panels on my transit. It rarely goes under 90% here in california. Before solar I could go 1-2 weeks depending on outside temps. Only real load is lights, fan, fridge, charging phones and laptops (inverted). - shreddydkrueger((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/evueag/how_much_watt_does_your_solar_have_and_how_much/fg0lndn/))

 > [300w panel and 200Ah bank] never dips below 70%. Not unusual to stay above 80 or 90%. 1.3cf Engel chest fridge, 10 minutes 600W (950W used) Microwave, Webasto heater, MaxAir fan, Laptop, Phones, Lights, 5 minutes 800W Water boiler.  Also glad we have a shore power charger and can use the alternator. Each method has its use. -- MsNomer((http://www.promasterforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62682)) > [300w panel and 200Ah bank] never dips below 70%.
