Here's a great idea from an australian innovator. Modified chest freezer operates as a fridge and consumes 0.1kwh per day. Wow Attachments:

We were forced to buy a new fridge. We bought the most efficient one we could find (& afford). It is an A++ and it uses 0.7kWh a day. I whince when I think about how many PV panels it will take to feed the thing. I have added sheets of polystyrene to the sides and top and lifted the fridge a few inches to improve the air flow to the back. We shall see.

A ChestFridge, this sounds weird but if it worked would be really good. I don't know enough about the mechanics and thermodynamics of refridgeration to know if there are any problems with this, but with my limited knowledge I can't think of any real problems. Actually there is one challenge that I can see, access to it, in a small fitted kitchen like ours there just isn't a lot of space where it could be put, I will have redesign the kitchen layout (I was going to do that anyway) and see if I can fit it in. Thinking.........
