 ==== Peltier refrigeration ====
-Peltier cooling doesn't get used much in solar setups because it uses a lot of power and does so 100% of the time.  A typical Peltier cooler might run 4-5A continuously whereas a compressor cooler might run 2A 30% of the time and turn off the rest of the time. The 100% duty cycle issue can be alleviated by wiring in [[https://amzn.to/2WJg4tu|a 12v thermostat]].((assuming it would ever get cold enough to shut off. ))

 This kind of device cools to ~30-40F below ambient, which may not be a problem if the ambient is 80F or less.  For best results avoid putting hot or even warmer-than-ambient items in the cooler.  Use a fan on the item until it is room temp before placing in cooler.
