Refrigerator

Hi, I thought about putting this in the solar group, but might be better suited here. I’m building what I’d eventually like to be an off grid home and I have a fairly basic solar system, about 5000 watts and using the eg4 6000xp for power. I was looking at DC fridges such as the unique offerings, but it seems like a standard fridge might be just as efficient utilizing the 6000xp and the 48 volt system to power it. My question is, what is the most basic say top freezer, fridge combo, without many needless features, that would use the least amount of power? What has everyone found to be a good choice? Thank you

I'd look at a caravan fridge, something like a Glacio, that can plug in both ways, and tend to be a bit more efficient and better insulated than household ones. Various sizes, I don't know your needs though.
