Running a refridgerator on Solar PV

Most efficient make/model?

Hello all.

I am looking to buy a refidgerator to cool beers outdoors for a friends party :)
I intend to use it in my house afterwards.

I will use solar panels, and a battery but not sure whether to go the 12/24v route or use an inverter and run a mains powered refridgerator (fridge).

I have google searched the board, and it appears most fridges consume 10 times the normal running power in the first minute, suggesting a big inverter required?

Here in the U.K all white goods have to display an energy efficiency label, from A-G ('A' being the most efficient). most fridges are now Rated A, some B.

Has anyone got any advice on a specific make and model that is most efficient, or any general advice on making such a purchase.

Thanks in advance.
Ben.
