| > I spent a lot more putting a [100w] solar rig on my car (Subaru Forester) than I would've buying ice, but it was a fun project and I use the aux battery for more than my fridge (alpicool c20) - powering led lights, running an electric compressor to blow up my paddle board etc. put food in and go. -- golear((https://www.reddit.com/r/boondocking/comments/nfso0o/solar_power_or_ice/gypgh4z/)) |

| > I have a 100 watt solar recharging station with a 100AH AGM and the fridge will run all night off that as long as the batt is full plus run my laptop and recharge gadgets. I think 200 watts solar would be better especially on cloudy days. - solar-cabin((https://www.reddit.com/r/boondocking/comments/nfso0o/solar_power_or_ice/gyphh77/)) |

> 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.

| > I... use an [[https://amzn.to/2QCHLoQ|alpicool]] [[[food:refrigeration#compressor_refrigeration|compressor refrigerator]]], in my transit van. It has 200w of panels on the roof and a separate [[https://amzn.to/3411PEp|50Ah battleborn battery]] for powering things in the back (like the refrigerator). The 200w keeps the refrigerator running 24/7 with very little intervention needed. Every once in a while when it's cloudy for several days in a row I have to plug the van in if it's not getting driven a lot. The alternator charges the back when it's running, with a [[https://amzn.to/3yqTqb6|Victron smart relay]] in between the front and the back so that the back can't drain the starter battery when the van isn't running. - hoggernick((https://amzn.to/3yqTqb6)) |
