How long it runs across models

The appliance class spans a range of models. Running time on a full charge at the low, typical and high figure in the data:

Mini fridge on the BLUETTI AC180, low to high
Case	Energy a day	Running time
Low end of the class	0.56 kWh a day	42.0 h
Typical	0.67 kWh a day	35.1 h
High end of the class	0.91 kWh a day	25.8 h

Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.

Keeping up on solar

At 4 peak sun hours, counting 75% of the panel rating: 200 W of panels bring in about 600 Wh a day, 90% of the 670 Wh it uses at 24 h a day. 500 W of panels bring in about 1,500 Wh a day, more than the 670 Wh it uses at 24 h a day, so the station keeps up.
