To this point, my alternate energy source (wind) merely slows down the rate of discharge. Better insulation on the fridge will help, but still, if the reefer is running, along with the A/P and computer, I'm pulling 12 amps when I check the meter. I thought about adding solar, but decided a small Honda generator was the better value (for me).

As an aside, you're all wrong about CD's panels. What they really are is his heliport.
