Q3 - What is a solar generator?

Solar Generators are complete solar power systems that combine a portable power station and solar panel. The solar panel absorbs solar energy from the sun and converts it to electricity while the power station, essentially a large battery pack, stores the energy.

Solar generators offer an environmentally friendly way of producing electricity as they do not release harmful gases like oil and fuel generators.

Portable Power Stations

Portable Power Stations are ideal for camping, caravans, off grid living and emergency electricity backup for the home.

Featuring AC outlets, DC carports and USB charging ports and ranging from 240W up to 2000W, you can power up to 99% of appliances! These include electric grills, kettles, microwaves and more. With a portable power station you can enjoy home comforts when out on your adventures, just be mindful that output and what your device can power, varies dependent on the model you choose!

Before you start to look at which power station is suitable for you, consider these questions:

What scenario do you plan to use your portable power station? Will it be used outdoor; camping RV life, bar/movie area at home or off grid living? Do you plan to use it in your home; emergency backup, DIY projects or remote office?

Once you have an idea on how you plan to use it, you can then consider what electrical items you wish to power and for how long. This will help you determine which on-the-go power station is best for your requirements.

Solar Panels

If you’re on the look out for solar panels to generate electricity for your portable power station whilst on the go, lightweight and compact solar panels are a must! Portable panels are often foldable and quick to set up, plus they’re easy to transport making them an ideal choice for camping, RV trips and outdoor living.

Solar panels absorb energy from the sun and convert sunlight to energy very quickly. They’re very reliable and unlike traditional generators, solar panels don’t emit harmful fumes making them an eco-friendly choice.
