sunfrost refrig/freezers are made for solar power, can be pricy but they have good service life and from what I hear they are able to be solar powered as well. sunfrost.com

Does anyone have a better resource for this? Is this the average cost or is this one in particular just expensive to build?

Making your own DC powered refrigerator from a recycled AC refrigerator is very easy and operates at about a quarter or less of the energy of conventional refrigerators. The complete precharged units are fairly expensive, $ 650 for the condenser unit and $350 for the large evaporator. Using a flat bendable evaporator is less. This is a step by step guide that will show you how I built one myself.
