And I have cabin/lodge (don't know correct english term) and
running car on idle there is out of question. Possible to run
inverter to run vacuum pump but not all the day for runing
fridge.
using good regular fridge and inverter is cheapest. But
running car to power it makes it to expensive and anyoning.
if powered with solar panel we need at least 200W panel and at
least 100Ah battery. too bulky and expensive for my option.
Otherwise I want 'green' solution in my little place.

There is a perfectly green way of keeping food cool; it comes free -
only sweat equity is needed.
It's called an ice house.
Briefly; you dig a hole and line it with insulating natural
materials, and provide it with a tight
insulating door.?? In Winter, the cellar is loaded with ice and
snow, and in Summer, the door is opened as seldom as possible.
If this won't do it for you, need to find a lawn mower engine, and
replace the valves with flap valves and a big handle and flywheel.
