I've got a spare self defrosting side/side side/side in the garage that we fire up when the house fills up with Buffalo refugees/friends this time of year. When being used, the kill-a-watt meter on it says it uses about 1.5 kWh/day. Garage temp. averages ~~ 60 F. this time of year.Comment

I'm gonna start with 8x240 watt Topoint panels, Midnight mppt charger and 200ah Trojan battery bank.
Wish me luck and thank you everyone for your input.Comment

And JPM, considering this is a Solar Panel talk forum I won't address what kind of "panel" I was referring to.Comment

Well, I find 35 running watts hard to believe. i'd expect it to be closer to 80w. BUT, perhaps that's a 24hr average, because no full size fridge pulls 30w while running, they are closer to 120W.
35w x 24 hr = 840wHr or .85kWh Still seems low to me, but go with it if you like, I think it's incorrect.Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

The basic, off-grid, most cost-effective system that I generally recommend is: Magnum MS4048PAE inverter w/Magnum wiring panel, set of 8 Trojan L16 batteries, Midnite Classic 200 Charge controller, up to 12 ~300watt PV panels. This full system would give you at least 10kWhr most every day.BSEE, R11, NABCEP, Chevy BoltEV, >3000kW installedComment
