    Solar in @ max 400 watts is pathetic. (then I see the CC is 30 amp...go figure)

    A fridge/freezer will consume 1, more usually 2 kw per day.

    400 watt panel would need three-six hours of beautiful sunshine to recharge what has been consumed.

    In mid winter in cloudy conditions a 400 watt panel will produce 400-600 watts for the entire day.

    The numbers don't add up.

    Plus, if its made in Chyna the inverter will shit itself within a couple of years. And/or the charge controller will fail.

    For that money I would build it yourself.

    If the fridge/freezer is old, I would replace it with an inverter fridge/freezer.

    (edit, I see its micromall selling it. Its a Chinese owned and operated company. I bought a bunch of stuff off them 4 years ago, and I do believe its all still working, fingers crossed)
