The duration a solar generator can power a refrigerator depends on several factors, including:

1. Refrigerator Power Consumption: Measured in watts (W), most modern refrigerators consume between 100W and 800W, depending on size, efficiency, and whether the fridge is running continuously or cycling on and off.
   
2. Solar Generator Capacity: The capacity of the generator is measured in watt-hours (Wh). Common solar generators have capacities ranging from 300Wh to over 2000Wh.
   
3. Power Efficiency and Losses: Some energy is lost during conversion, especially when using an inverter.

Estimation

To calculate how long a solar generator will power your refrigerator, you can use this formula:Duration (hours)=Solar Generator Capacity (Wh)Refrigerator Power Consumption (W)\text{Duration (hours)} = \frac{\text{Solar Generator Capacity (Wh)}}{\text{Refrigerator Power Consumption (W)}}Duration (hours)=Refrigerator Power Consumption (W)Solar Generator Capacity (Wh)​

For example:

• If your refrigerator consumes 150W on average, and you have a 1000Wh solar generator:

Duration=1000Wh150W≈6.67 hours\text{Duration} = \frac{1000Wh}{150W} \approx 6.67 \text{ hours}Duration=150W1000Wh​≈6.67 hours

This is an approximation since the refrigerator doesn’t run continuously, and solar generators can recharge during the day if paired with solar panels.

Average Ranges:

• A 1000Wh solar generator could power a 150W refrigerator for about 6 to 8 hours.
• A 2000Wh solar generator could power the same fridge for 12 to 16 hours.

Using solar panels can help extend this duration by recharging the generator during daylight.
