Sunfrost noise/Propane Fridge [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

Phil,
   I tend to agree with you.  I bought a SunFrost RF12 about 8 years ago and 
have never regretted it.  Its a 12VDC model and I have had to keep a 12v 
battery bank and PV's dedicated to it after I upgraded to the SW4024 but it 
just takes care of itself.  Defrost once a year whether it needs it or not 
and it quietly does its job. I ran it for years on 3 Kyocera 35 watt panels 
but did have trouble during long cloudy periods.  I added 2 80 watt Solarex 
panels to the 3 Kyoceras and now the batteries never go below 60 or 70%.  I 
recently gave a client a choice of a SunFrost or a Maytag with calculations 
showing similar total cost of frig  & PV,s and they opted for the SunFrost.  
The numbers are getting closer but the SunFrost is still a better deal in our 
sun belt by about 10%.  A little more insulation in those commercial units 
and they may start to give SunFrost some competition if they can keep the 
price down.
