The mains element of the fridge is around 120watts so 10A at 12 volt. The 12 volt element is less probably around 60watts so only 5 amp. As the 12volt element is so small it will be on all the time and will probably not keep the fridge very cold. You could no doubt add a second element but will increase the consumption.
2 x 53Ahr batteries discharging to around 50% is 53 AHr so only 10 hours life excluding any other usage.
2 x 100W solar panels out put 200W in IDEAL conditions. June and July you might get near it, other months much less so. April & Septemb er probably 8-n or 90W. This will not be for 24 hours. Zero at night, low in morning, growing to a peak around mid day then falling back to zero again.
You will not always have ideal conditions, some days will be overcast/raining.
This is the predicted monthly output of a 245kW system we have just installed. (This is 245,000W). Yours will be a lot less.
