Fairy Nuff, I was going from memory of reading the rating plates... Still
5.5A @ 14v is still the best part of 80W and bear in mind that 120W panel
will only do that in bright, full, sunshine... You'll probably still need
one that size to ensure that you have enough power when it's not full
bright sushine. And what about night time...

Not much extra, but there's usually a fan as well.

I have a small wine fridge that uses this type of cooler and fan. Rated
about 75W IIRC. The main limitation is it can only drop about 15 degrees
below ambient - which means it is only going down to 10 or 11 degrees at
the moment.
