Yes! Since the Go Power Solar Elite Charging System - 380 Watt Solar Panels # 34282184 includes a 2,000 Watt Inverter Charger, you will be able to use it for your refrigerator.
However, it is important to note that it is a common misconception that solar power directly powers the fridge. In reality, the fridge will run off the the battery and the panels actually recharge that battery. In most cases, a fridge will draw 1 amps to 6 amps an hour with a standard average being 2.5 amps. As a general rule, you receive about 6 hours of ideal sunlight conditions a day for a total of about 68 amps per day.
If you absolutely are in need of a constant power supply, I recommend adding a second battery to your RV. I also went ahead and attached a video of the # 34282184 for you to check out.
