Check out heat pumps, they can produce 5 + times the amount of heat compared to an electric heater, so if that heat is coming out of your fridge, you can cool the fridge with a much smaller solar installation than if you use a conventional fridge. Sorry can't give you figures.

The solar power would have to charge a battery that powers an inverter to provide power to your fridge. The challenge will be to calculate the size of solar panel(s) and number of batteries.

A fridge is a BIG power user. So you would need a large solar set up and batteries for nights and when the sun isn't out. Expect about $10,000. You may get by for $5000 if you have a small compact size fridge.

Sure its possible, you should evaluate how bad you want to run on the sun. For a typical 1200 watt refrigerator and inverter, panels etc, systems run about $ 6500. If you want more info check out this link for reference. Good luck.
not a chance there is no way you could maintain the constant voltage need to operate that big of an application you would be replacing the fridge in less than 3 weeks
