I run two Century N70ZZ’s in the Landrover in WA. One start, one for accessories. I can run an Engel 40lt all summer without issue as well as winching boat on etc.True , and Lithium batteries aren't fond of heat.
I haven't used solar on the mainland.
Solar in Tas (Vehicles , houses) is not that popular , obviously due to latitude less sun despite longer days at times of the year.
Plus it's unlikely you would find yourself offgrid for more than a few days unless you really wanted to be. And no 12 hour drives just to get away from other people!
P.S. I was thinking 40C inside the car on a warm day (30C) outside. If you are away all day that fridge will have to work harder.
Trick is to keep the fridge full of cans! And don’t disturb too often.
Car gets a run most days with odd 3-4 day period where it doesn’t move.
For me a portable / flexible system is perfect for those time where you are going to parked up on a beach or prospecting for a week or so. You can tailor the system to suit what you’re doing.
