Most peeps are already going to have some power, so it just becomes an economy of scale. I saved the 500 to 1000 on the fridge and bought a little larger wattage system. I admit it is a horse a piece but I have a freezer and fridge in one unit which is not offered in most of the low energy dc models. If I need both, Sun Frost offers a combo fridge freezer for two grand plus shipping last I checked. There have been complaints of durability with that make. Propane is an option but they stink in the house with co and fumes, and the keeping the tank full and gas expenses runs 20 dollars or more per month.
