Solar Generators

Solar Generator

Energy from the Sun is free. Capturing it and storing it as electricity allows us to use it even when the sun isn’t shining—or when the power goes out. A solar generator has four main parts:

• A battery for storing solar energy as electricity.
• The inverter converts DC from the battery into AC.
• Solar cells capture sunlight and convert it into DC to charge the battery.
• A charge controller prevents overcharging by limiting solar cell current.

As long as you have sunlight, the solar generator stores it as electricity to use when you need it.

Solar Generator for Home

Backup power is one popular use of a solar generator for home. When the power goes out, just plug your appliances into the solar generator that you’ve kept charged and ready for when the lights go out. Home medical equipment like a CPAP machine can operate on a solar generator. Charge it up during the day, sleep peacefully at night.

Larger capacity models can handle multiple appliances or even your refrigerator. 

Remember—higher loads drain the battery faster. A few LED lights could run for days, but the refrigerator might run out of power after a few hours. 

Portable Solar Generator

Portability makes it possible to take your power anywhere. A portable solar generator can run a fan in the tent for sleeping, provide a few lights to light up the campfire circle, and possibly brew the morning coffee.

At a tailgate party, power up the television, turn on the music, and keep the crock-pot hot. The possibilities are endless. 

Charge cell phones and tablets, plug in the laptop, or connect the satellite dish.

Plug in the solar panels and keep the generator charged and ready. 

Solar Power Generator

Convert energy from the sun into electricity and store it in a battery for use when you need it. It’s not a new concept. No need for gasoline or propane or diesel or refueling in the middle of the night in the pouring rain. Don’t worry about someone stealing it while you sleep—it’s perfectly safe to use it indoors.

Even where blackouts or power outages are frequent occurrences, apartment renters have an option for backup power—the solar power generator. Keep it charged while in storage (most can charge from the wall socket too) and when the power goes out, plug in your lights and whatever else you need. 

When the sun shines, put the solar panels on the balcony and charge the battery, or take it outside and charge it up while you work.

A solar power generator can turn a dark day into bright and sunny.
