Bill, I have 2 semi rigid 100w solar panels mounted on the Bimini which feed a Renogy 40amp regulator that service 2 group 31 house batteries and group 27 starter battery. Also in play is a 2000watt Xantrex charger/inverter which only gets used for periodic winter battery charging when the boat is shrink wrapped and AC power when at the mooring or underway. I can run a toaster oven/ or single cup Keurig with the set up I have now. Re-plumbing the OEM refrigerator (Adler Barber Cold Machine) to mitigate coolant leaks will see how well the system holds up to keep cold beverages onboard. Talking to systems people at boat shows are encouraging. I would make sure your solar chargers use a regulator and are properly fused otherwise your batteries can get overcharged Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 83 Landfall 35 Padanaram MA
