[quote:Anonymous Coward 610093:MV83NDgxMjRfMTE0NzgwNDBfRkQ0OTZCRkY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 317023] Hey Trinity...I was thinking of putting together a small system just to power a refrigerator and a freezer that, as you know, only run intermittently. I figured at least 3 batteries, and a 1500-1800 Watt Inverter, and a 100 watt solar panel. Think that would do the trick, or do you think another solar panel? I was also considering adding an Air-X wind generator to the mix. The come with a built-in charge controller, if I'm not mistaken, and can be connected to a solar panel array. What are your thoughts?...just for refrigerator and freezer. [/quote] I believe I read that it is recommended to have a 2500 watt generator to run a frig. Supposedly peak load can approach 2000 watts, for some brief periods of time. So your inverter might be a little wimpy, also you will need more panels to recharge your batteries in under 8 hours, and you might be a little light on the batteries too. [/quote]
Original Message
Curious if any GLP's have used these Solar Generators.... I am interested to hear comments if it's of any quality. The unit would be used in Central Oregon - high desert area, plenty of sun during the winter and summer.
For those of you interested....
