Question:

how many solar panels will i need?

i am wanting to build a small tiny house running 3-4 2 volt 5 watt light bulbs for a lighting source and using a Koolatron Fun Kool 26 Quart 2V Portable Mini Fridge This cooler consumes 4.5 amps at 2 volts. The conversion is: 4.5 amps (X) times 2 volts (=) equals 54 watts. and i want a solar system that will have back up for 2 days with the lights on for probly 5-6 hours a day so theirs no room for error

Answer:

you silly ! with Solar there is always room for error . you have to build it in to your numbers . solar is full of errors . So you should plan on producing at 3 times what you expect you will need . then you have enough .
