IIRC, my coulomb counters showed a a total change in current of about 5A between 'Inverter ON' and 'Inverter OFF'. (Voltage was about 13.3V). But there may have been other factors at play - variable loads from the DC powered fridge and perhaps some variability in current being supplied from the Solar Controllers.
