I’ve had great service and pricing from Steve at Mandrake’s
Solar Power (frequents the
forum) and his website has a calculator you can use to determine what size panel you might need.

What size batteries do you have ?
Running as a freezer, go the biggest panels you can afford .....120 minimum....200 if you can afford it ..

I mean 160 watt solar panel.
Running a waceo as freezer means more power to draw on than running as a fridge mode
