Seems to be why fan keeps running on Outback 3648. Voltage never went over 54 while hovering around 52 and 53.
I think I need another freezer very very soon. Wondering how much time I might have.
Scrambling to get Denver home listed and about out of all funds. Challenging times!

I like redundancy, so replacing one large freezer with two smaller ones would be my approach. I seem to recall that you have several freezers, so maybe you already have enough redundancy. Either way, prices are not going down!
I always have more questions than answers. That's the nature of life. -
I have six now. My system was doing fine until the biggest one started to fail from appearances. Big compressor.First Bank:16 180 watt Grape Solar with FM80 controller and 3648 Inverter....Fullriver 8D AGM solar batteries.

While searching for another freezer I scored an unused 28 Sq ft Samsung fridge with inverter compressor for $500. Could not resist.
750kWh is good for 28 Sq ft.First Bank:16 180 watt Grape Solar with FM80 controller and 3648 Inverter....Fullriver 8D AGM solar batteries.
