Default solar update

I made the decision. I already already have a lithium battery. I have a 1500 watt inverter. I already wired an inverter powered 120 Amp plug on the refrigerator wall. So I removed my 3 way refrigerator and purchased a Magic Chef 4.4 cu. ft. Mini Fridge in Stainless Look from Home Depot for $200 (originally $250, but I get 10% military discount and the box was torn so they took off another $25). I thought these were the best dimensions of any fridge that I saw. I had to cut some trim away on the side and top. I then secured the fridge with foam insulation and a 4" wood bolt through the frame at the back. I am sure this will not move. I purchased 3 100 watt solar panels for $72 each and also a controller for about $250. Solar powered electric refrigerator way cheaper than a $1,350 3 way fridge and much more versatile.
