Question:

Expert Reply:

I checked with the manufacturer for you, and the 12V, 10.7 Cu Ft Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # EV77FR needs 160 Watts and two group 27 batteries for constant use. Keep in mind that power is only for the fridge though and not all your other power usage.

We also have a pretty cool Solar Calculator which can get you started on determining exactly how much solar is right for your overall needs, and I'll go ahead and link that below for you.

This summer was our first experience with a 12V only refrigerator. It's an Everchill RV refrigerator, 10.7 cubic feet. We had two, 200 watt solar panels and two group 27 batteries installed. Even in full sun the refrigerator drew more than the solar could produce and we had to run the generator two and three times per day. We were not trying to run anything except the refrigerator - no lights, no TV, no electronics, nothing.
