Solar powered fridge

Does anyone know if there’s such a thing as a solar powered fridge I tested my solar panel output today and it was reading almost 14 volts surely a 12 volt fridge would work on that voltage or am I talking s..t ,think about it what a saving on gas if you had solar power ,just a thought

@Hilton9

It was worked out in the past and a fridge uses little gas in a 24hr period,

Cant remember exactly but it was worked out based on gas weight burned per hour,

It would be great to get a solar fridge in fairness,

I have a small drugs fridge which came from a nursing home which I replaced a few years ago it’s an ammonia fridge so it has no working parts it works on heat must plug it into the Motorhome see what happens through the inverter

I have had my Waeco 50L compressor fridge running on pure solar since last week filled with beer supplied by a 320 W solar panel. The battery voltage of a bank 2 x 100 Ah leisure batteries has gone down to minimum of 12.5 Volts overnight and during the day the battery floats at 13.8 - 14.0 Volts until the dusk.

So far this month I have generated 3.46 kWh and consumed about 2.5 kWh using the fridge and music (when working at the van). To me it seems that most of the time the panel is just itching to produce more but there is not enough load to use the power so the system just idles and float charges the battery at 0.5 Amps. The fridge when compressor is running uses 38 Watts according to the charge controller.

Indeed. And that is 38 watts when the compressor is running which is usually about 25 percent of the time. My absorption fridge runs at 120 watts , 24/7 on electricity.

Providing you have the sun. What about night time, it does happen. Wet grey days, oh and winter. I remain unconvinced. Sorry
