Chest freezers cycle. Size from 24-hour kWh, not nameplate amps.
Deep freezer at ~200 W for 24 hours is about 4.8 kWh/day. That is the number that buys plates and, if the feeder sheds while the load is on, LFP. Chest freezers cycle. Size from 24-hour kWh, not nameplate amps.

Key takeaways
- Running watts ≈ 200 W.
- Running W: 200 — Deep freezer.
- Hours used: 24 — Honest diary.
- kWh/day: 4.8 — What you buy PV for.
- Measure actual running watts with a plug meter if you can.
What it is
Running watts ≈ 200 W. Energy ≈ 4.8 kWh/day at 24 h. We start with 4 × 645 W for the day side and 1 × 5.12 kWh LFP if this load must survive shed.
In Pakistan 2026
Net-billing does not make this load cheaper at 11 pm. If it runs at night in shed, only hybrid LOAD + battery does. On-grid dies. Tubular 50% DoD is a bad fit for 24-hour fridges and night ACs.
How we spec it
Measure actual running watts with a plug meter if you can. Inverter ACs vary. Put this load on LOAD only if the hybrid and pack C-rate allow. Geysers and irons are usually day-GRID or timer.
Numbers you can actually use
Street ranges, not a quotation. Confirm the carton the week you book.

Add it to the house, do not island it
A dedicated mini-plant for deep freezer only makes sense for tube wells and some pumps. Houses should one-hybrid, one LOAD DB, one honest list. The calculator is that list.
Worked example — Peshawar
Take a 3.6 kW-class hybrid in Peshawar (PESCO, ~4.9 PSH). 6 × 645 W is 3.87 kW DC. Derated yield ≈ 3.87 × 4.9 × 0.78 ≈ 14.8 kWh on a clean day — then weaker winter sun and variable waits. This page (Deep freezer) is the piece of that plant people skip on WhatsApp. If your quote cannot survive this Peshawar sentence, it will not survive May. Open the calculator with city set to Peshawar, and the lookup map for a stocking dealer — not a green-meter SKU.
Keywords this lesson actually answers
People land here asking deep freezer solar, 200 watt solar. The honest 2026 answers still collapse to: N-type plates with flash, IP65 hybrid with GRID vs LOAD, 51.2 V LFP on CAN, 14 SWG, XLPO, derate 0.78, and net-billing at ~Rs 11 export if you file with PESCO. Everything else on this page is how not to get robbed while buying those things.

FAQ — Deep freezer
Do I size a plant just for this?
No. Add it to the load list. This page stops 6 kW packages for four fans.
Inverter or non-inverter AC?
Inverter. Non-inverter start current is a hybrid-killer.
Will net-billing run it at night?
Net-billing is rupees on a bill, not a battery.
Can PWM UPS do this?
Not as a 2026 hybrid. See PWM vs MPPT.
