Solar Powered Freezer

[Hawghauler]

Except for being pricey as all get out, seems to me a solar freezer would be a fairly good survival appliance. I wonder how reliable these things are?

Very pricey, but not a bad option for off the grid thinking

would be interested in knowing how reliable they are also... solar freezer vs generator

they are only reliable as the batteries they are connected to.

Think travel trailer refrigerator running on 12 volts
They kill 2 batteries in less than 24 hours.

So you need to have enough sun and batteries to go at least 3 days plus have a backup charge source.

I had a recovered RV fridge at my place in the barn and found that I had to have 12 12v batteries in parallel
plus 2 300 watt panels on the barn roof to keep them charged.

When the panels where lost in Hurricane Ike I did not replace the fridge.

Now, if you ran it off of the 12volt with a AC to DC converter then you would be good with battery backup
for the power for a day or two and use the car/truck/tractor to recharge the batts
