 > I have 175 watts of solar feeding two 12v marine/RV batteries. I run the refers and charge my lap top of this set up. I have no problem with power and have gone 1 week in cloudy rainy conditions, however we did get a couple of hours of sun everyday -- highdesertranger((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/Thread-Best-refrigeration-methods?pid=349892#pid349892))
-> I could easily make 50AH of power with my 2-100W mono panels on a sunny day. Panels are ground mounted and I chase the sun with them. 20AH on a few of the overcast days we had [at quartzsite in Jan]. Just running LED lights, water pump, fridge propane solenoid(120ma) and charging 2 tablets, 2 smartphones plus a few ham radio HT's. Batteries are 2 group 24 costco deep cycle batteries in parallel, 2 years old and going strong but I take care of them.  -- DangerBird((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=27940&pid=351923#pid351923))

 > I have 200 watts of solar, and two-100 ah agm batteries and using an edgestar 43 quart fridge. I have had no problems, I did install a battery isolator and that really helps keep the house batteries fully charged on the cloudy days which are few in AZ. -- Burbanlife((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=28373&pid=357383#pid357383))

 > [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))

 > 420 amp hours, although batteries are long in the tooth so lets call it 320 ah. 350 watts of solar, virtually unshaded. I use 75-100 ah per day. How much is largely a function of how hot the water I'm in is and how hard the fridge has to work due to heat infiltration through the hull. I get to float by around 1pm on an average day. -- Suijin((http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f14/solar-watts-daily-ah-consumption-202019.html#post2643157))
