Hi,
My goal is to setup a solar panel to help run a mini fridge. The fridge I am looking at purchasing is 45 watts - I am hoping I can run a 50 watt solar panel to help keep my car battery near topped off - I am a bit new to electrical, so I am learning as I go and I am not sure 50 is enough, as I doubt I'll hit 50 based on where I live / camp along with the panel not giving 100%.
Why do I want to run a 50 watt panel? Size. I do not plan on having the panel attached to my vehicle 24/7, I would simply bring it out when we are stationary and plug it in. My goal would be to keep it stored when not camping.
Would a 50 watt panel help keep my car battery topped off, or would I need to go for a 100 watt?
