I have a120w unit, [2 x60,s hinged together] ,This will keep the fridge running very well under good conditions, that is good sunny days. have run it like this for six weeks at a time with no probs.

Be sure to set it up properly, 6mm wire with regulator as close as possibile to battery.

When I use mine as a freezer up in the NT I use two sets of 120w panells & two batteries, this works very well also over several weeks, again in good conditions.
