300 times 4 is 1200 watts.

This surge happens only for a split second.
It would help if you were a little more specific about the power consumption of your appliances but i will suggest the following.

Solar kit to run tv laptop fridge mobile or lights hi and good luck.
7am 5pm 10 hours.
Evening running fridge and lights.

When the air compressor on a refrigerator starts up it needs a surge of power that can use three times the normal running current.
You multiply the combined wattage of the solar panels by the number of hours sunlight they will receive per day.
After startup the fridge uses power according to the nameplate voltage and current.
Daytime running fridge only.
Hence it will not need to turn on as often.
5pm 9pm 4 hours.
In the day with just your fridge running.
If you run your a c for 4 hours per day that means you would need 14 solar panels to cover 120 hours per month of use.
You would need about 4x 80 watt panels and about 860 ah 12 v battery bank.
According to energystar gov recent models sized in the 21 to 24 cubic foot range use about 560 kwh per year i want to use a monthly number so divided by 12 that s roughly 46 kwh per month from an upright modern refrigerator.
1200 watts divided by 1 000 equals 1 2 kwh produced per day.
Estimate that fridge cycles.
