    Yet I've done 10 years in all sorts of conditions for weeks on end running my fridge, lights, charging 2 x iPads kids and iPhone for me without getting below 90% charge on 100ah battery.

    Snow, desert, clouds, overcast, hot as hell weather so?

    Turn your bloody phone off. You are camping and enjoying the serenity . LMAO

    BTW I have a 140 Watt Solar Panel with a 100 AH Battery running a 60 Litre Fridge/Freezer . The Battery is fully charged each day about 2pm.
    Don't know any of the technical details but it works for me
