While we use ice to get by on a daily basis to cool things down, the realization that a complete off-grid solar system is way outside our ability to get, I started to look into 12v refrigeration. perhaps, if I can find a solar panel system with discharge protection et al for under $250 then were in business. BUT! (And this is one big fat enormous package of giggly fat booty here), you MUST learn the ins and outs of how the refrigeration for 12v and 24 v systems work:

Then comes the issue of where to find complete systems that might work. Funny enough: look up info on RV systems!
So a good look around and vloila:

Granted the prices are not under $250, but the wattage is right, and doable.
Next up is water heaters.
