Holy buckets I watched this one year to the date. Building something like this RIGHT now myself.

Great results on an empty freezer. It will be a lot more efficient on power when it is full.

Great info! In an emergency situation you can use the freezer to make ice blocks and then use those to chill all kinds of food in coolers.

I have a similar setup. A 100 ah LifePo4 battery, 1000 watt inverter, 20 amp pwm charge controller, 2 ea 100 watt solar panels. My garage frig has a 50/50 run/off and draws 70-80 watts off the inverter. Inverter is pure sine wave and draws 13 watts continuously. I started out using one panel and it couldn’t keep up. Two panels will run my system indefinitely as long as I have good sun for 6 to 8 hours.

I'm impressed with that freezer. For it to stay below 10 degrees in that hot garage is awesome. I bet more battery power was used on the inverter's parasitic draw than what the freezer actually used.

Super helpful! Thanks for doing this test.

excellent project results. if you hooked up solar you could prob run in for weeks maybe longer

Great content, I'm in the process of hooking up a 200 ah Timeusb LifePo4 battery I am sure that it will be much better then the AGM batteries that I have been running 😎😎

Hello Brian🙋🏻‍♀️I was wondering how this freezer is holding up?

Excellent review .I’m not sure but if you isolate the freezer with some playbook or others materials outside maybe could last longer the charge of the battery .thanks for the information .I think every person would need to have a system like this in case of an emergency .

Not to mention, if the freezer had been full, it would have lasted a lot longer as well, since the food provides a ton of thermal mass to the system.

WOW! What else can I say! I am definitively buying one of those batteries as soon as I can, it will be soo interesting to see hpw that small system behaves when you add the solar panels and at the same time you have the freezer connected.

If you add a cheap solar setup to it you could run that all the time from it and not worry about power outages. Have fun stay safe.

Pretty impressive

would be nice to see with 100watts solar panel what it look like!

The freezer will use less power to keep cold once it is full and the food is frozen.

Good info

Can you list the equipment of the solar in your video description. I recognise the charge controller but not the inverter.

This garage is different!

Your freezer will use less power once it’s full so you will be able to go longer between charges, I’m guessing at least another day.
