I got the bug a week ago and bought a chest freezer for the camp. One last attempt to see if I can run it on 150W of panels.  For temp sensor I am using 6 diodes in series which comes to about 12mV per degree C, 7805 as reference and Lm324 as active device.  Using a modified liquid level controller I designed that came back from UL testing with thermocouples epoxied to the board.  We all should recycle!  Control range will be 0 to 60 F.  Be another week for things to warm up before I can do some realistic testing.
