Solar Powered Fridge/Freezer Concept

I'd like a portable fridge/freezer for long road trips.

So here's what I'm thinking about doing.

1. Add a roof rack on top of my truck cap.

2. Mount solar panels between the roof rack cross beams.

3. Power two of these fridge/freezers using the solar battery.

is this a good idea? Do you think it will work? Or is there a better solution?

Thanks in advance for any tips/ideas.

 

works fine here.

 

That’s my plan, although I would suggest you get a dual zone fridge freezer instead of two separate ones to save on space

I have a contractor cap, and can fit 4 100 watt panels snugly inside the rack so it’s partially protected and can still use the rack

 

I have been happy with SetPower PT35 & I bought there power bank, which i have plugged into inverter & Fridge plugged into power bank.

 

Thanks for the feedback so far.

 

Mount a flexible panel on the cap. The vibration/flexing might damage the solid panels suspended from a rack.

Hasn't here, so far. I'm running the renology 100w panels for about $1/watt, the flex tend to be more expensive.

 

I did Fill my fridge up other night & the power bank will keep it going over night with power to spare.

 

If anyone want’s to guess How many Beer’s fit without going over.. Ha.

 

I run a Dr.Prepare 1280 Wah power station using the 12v jack for my Setpower freezer set at 37f, I only go out for weekends so it's more energy than I need.

 

I run the Dr. Prepare 100ah battery with CIGS flexible solar (200) to my IceCo APL55. Been running for almost a year straight.
