Re: [pvusers] Solus/Sundanzer Refrigerators

I don't know how accurate the numbers are for consumption, but at 90F the
numbers double over the 70F numbers.  You might want to plan for the larger
consumption numbers, and be happy if you get the lower consumption in the
long run.  Just my 2 cents worth.

If you do get one of these units let the list know how it goes.  Quality,
consumption and the like.  I've not seen a hands on report for these
anywhere.
