The other weird Energy Star issue I have seen for 2 years now is the Canada numbers being quite a bit lower than US. I assume it is in their average temperature or something. I do know a specific model and have measured it. The data I get is much closer to the lower Canadian Energy Star numbers.

I've done a lot of 12V refrigeration work for boats, these systems are small, efficient, cheap and basically unbreakable. they come in 24V so if you can use the sizes, you can put something together very easily. the Danfoss hermetically sealed compressors are bullet proof and very very efficient.

Hi Drake Probably the biggest development in off grid solar refrigeration is the growing use of battery free solar direct drive (SDD) fridges and freezers. These are now in widespread use by the global immunization community for vaccine refrigeration and some ice pack freezing. It is believed

Hey Drake, Because of the very low cost of producing power by PV solar, I always recommend a standard, high efficiency refrigerator. It doesn’t makes sense to by speciality refrigerators that cost 2-4 times times the price of ‘off the shelf” brands. Many brands have models that use about 1 kWh
