Sitting having a cold beer I started thinking (dangerous)
Small table top fridges are rated at about 120Kw/hrs per year
is 120000 watts per year
is 342 watts per day
is 14.28 watts per hour
or just over 1 amp/hour at 12 volts

I know thats an average over the year, and you use more power in summer
and I know that inverters are not 100% efficient, but my question is has anybody ever tried to run a small domestin fridge off an inverter and did it work or was it a massive power drain ?

I am not a spark so my maths may be flawed, but anybody got any ideas.

I am 100% off grid at home running on battery's and inverter. I have just bought an under worktop fridge freezer for my 32 which I am refitting. So I will be putting a bank of battery's big enough to run it.If any one is interested the f/freezer came for £160 with 3 years guarantee and it also available in 12 volt but a lot dearer. I have been into alternative energy for over 15 years
