I did have coldies available.
My air conditioners might have struggled, but we are never short of refrigeration. Nor a generator to run it all if we lose power.
Most relevant would be the little 49L Samsung bar fridge one of my sons left in my shed for want of somewhere else to store it.
At Christmas I cleaned it and set it at just above beer freezing temperature for the Christmas Lunch drinks.
Haven't turned it off since.
It coped admirably yesterday, especially since it was sitting on the pizza prep/teardrop trailer manufacturing table outside.
Actually, it is a very nicely shaped fridge. I did toy with the idea of fitting a small inverter to the TD and putting the fridge in there.
If I took out the fridge slide it'd use the space perfectly.
It draws 80W the sticker says. About 7.5 amps allowing for inverter inefficiencies.
I guess a 300W inverter might be enough for starting surges.
I yet may. Need to see what the system performs like with the big solar panel fitted.
And, being a domestic fridge it might not take to being shaken by movement too well.
