I take it pretty seriously. I have two 120w panels and a 250AH AGM battery. It runs a 2.6cf 12volt freezer. The panels are mounted on the roof rack of my canopy on my pickup. System is designed even on a cloudy day in DV to put out 5 amps. The freezer when running takes 3.5 amps. I also have some 12V fans and use an inverter to run my blender when needed (every day!!). Solar is a big investment at my level but considering I can boondock and never need a generator it is worth it to me. Smaller systems are affordable. Zardoz
