Duty cyle is dependant on usage (kids opening the door and sometimes leaving it open :? ) When I'm on the boat the kids are ussually around too so getting an accurate measurement may be difficult. If I had to guess I would think about 20 minutes per hour though.

When I had the shore power problems I took about a month to do the repairs and the solar panels kept the fridge at temp as well as full batteries and a light or two left on. Now if the radar and autopilot are being used continuously that might be a different story.
