I tested the fridge on the inverter yesterday. I found that with only the fridge running from being off and open for 3 days, and all other ancillary loads, that I had a draw of 15A which translates to about 170W. Surprisingly, when I opened the fridge door, it was up to 20A, adding 4A just for the light. Anyway, I think I am going to stay with the 400W kit from Renogy to start off my first solar experience. I am not expecting to replace all battery power, just to supplement and extend the time between the generator starting.
