> Using a supercapacitor to provide power while shutting down on loss of solar power, instead of the current few minutes of use of batteries.

I wonder why this is necessary. I've also seen it mentioned in the wiki, but no explanation.

Isn't a compressor the only electrical thing in a fridge? I know you must be careful with leaving some time between restarts, but why can't you just shut it down immediately on power loss?
