The one built and tested at Mt. Best drew 100wH a day.

Perhaps you should refigure..... or maybe he has an inefficient freezer ....

It is an inefficient freezer. It is only a class 'B' rather than a class 'A' or 'A+', but that was a trade off on price. We only paied 250 euro against 400+ euro for the more efficient.

Even with PV units I don't think the cost of the more efficient freezer would be worth it. 60 Watts 4 hours sun is 15 Watts additional solar panel. At $4 Watt 3 euro you could buy 30-50 Watts of PV for the difference in cost. 60Wh X 30days is 1800 Watts less than 2 kWh a month. Even where I am with $0.16kWh electricity the extra cost will not be justified.
