For just running a fridge and lights you don't need too much solar/battery. They have 12v compressors now that are pretty efficient and blow absorption fridges out of the water in cooling. AC is a beast though. No getting around that. Heat could be wood, Propane gche or whatever. Not electric.

    I did see a guy make a cooler with a cistern, pump and radiator. Water in the cistern/well is cold most of the year. Guess you just have to drain it in the winter, but yeah I'd say batteries can be a money sink.

    Also I did kill a lot of batteries by hooking them in parallel to a bad 12v battery, buuut that's just me saying battery system can go for a lot
