Lastly you will need the solar panels to keep the battery charged.
How many solar panels to run a deep freezer.
With that in mind we bought the freezer.
How did i come up with 300.
So you are going to need a total wattage of 300 combined solar panels.
For this example if you are using 404 kwh per year that is 1 11 kwh per day.
That s still a considerable number of solar panels just to run a fridge freezer.
Battery storage capacity is not your problem.
The freezer consumes approximately 220kwh year or 610wh day.
This implies that the average power consumption of your freezer cannot exceed 100 watts per 8 hours or 12 5 watts per hour.
A device called a charge controller will smooth the flow of power from the panels to the battery.
How many 200ah batteries and 250watts solar panel do i need to power an hybrid system that is comprise of 12 air conditioners 1100watts each 8 deep freezers 350watts each and 6 tv set.
But for now i would like to set up a system powerful enough to run at full capacity as a freezer.
Battery sizing for the steca solar fridge the steca pf166 when used in freezer mode 18c consumes about 300 watt hours per day and when it s in fridge mode 3c it consumes an incredible 72 watt hours.
Batteries are needed to store the power that the refrigerator will use at night or when clouds block the sun.
A solar power setup suitable for refrigerator use requires several devices in addition to solar panels.
Does that mean i can have 5 panels running off it.
At just 172 kilowatt hours per year to run this freezer we figured it couldn t be too hard to set up a solar system to run the freezer.
Ray did some more on line research and found a company called windy nation that sells solar panels charge controllers inverters just about anything you.
1 how many of these panels will safely work with this charge controller.
