Can this ARDES AR5E30A refrigerator be powered by a solar panel?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is technically possible to power the ARDES AR5E30A refrigerator with a solar panel, but it requires specific adaptation.

This appliance accepts two power sources:

230 V alternating current (standard mains)
12 V direct current (via supplied cigarette lighter adapter)

To use a solar panel, you should:

Have a 12 V solar panel capable of providing sufficient power for the refrigerator's compressor (check the product's nameplate for exact consumption)
Use a 12 V battery system to compensate for periods without sunlight, as the panel alone will not suffice at night or in bad weather
Connect the system via the 12 V power cable with cigarette lighter plug already provided with the appliance

Important: in 12 V mode, the refrigerator operates only in MAX mode (cooling up to 17°C difference); the ECO/MAX adjustment handle is not operational. The recommended continuous operating duration is a maximum of 6 days, after which a rest of 2 hours is necessary.
