At half the size of the current 30's and using two you can find a way to make them fit. Two together would only be 20 X 24 inches for 60 watts. That low current refrigeration sure was interesting wasn't it! I also think that with 8 amps available from the outboard (mine anyway) it's best to design the solar for average draw and use the OB the odd time you need more. Keeps things small and manageable for 90+ percent of the time. Chris
