People around here that live off the grid use propane refrigerators. Propane lamps can be used also. Lots of RVs and campers have Portable power and light.

I modified a chest freezer to utilize as a refrigerator. I use less than 150w per day on it, although the starting load is somewhat higher, on my system it is not a problem. Cold air sinks - stand up refrigerators are horribly inefficient whether propane or electric.
