The Most Frequently Asked Questions
Don't make the mistake all of us did, invest in an electric generator.
Is there a difference between
electric and fuel generators?
When thinking about electric or fueled generators, the first thing that always comes to mind is, the cost. A fuel generator is cheaper now a days in 2024, as before, but the prices have been coming down drastically. With the advancements of the future, prices are coming down every year. Don’t think wrong about what we are saying, in the long run, fuel generators are noisier, heavier, and produce an odor due to running conditions. Yes, in the long run, with mechanic assistance, or disposal and buying a new one, they will cost you more in the long run. Don’t find out the hard way, there are too many people that will explain to you, the mistakes they made in the past… and guaranteed, you will make them too, besides parts fail…
How do I charge this solar electric generator,
if there is not sunshine?
That’s a pretty simple question. Today’s advancements in technology allow you to charge the generators with many different, safe methods. Solar generators don’t rely on the sun only. Solar generators can charge by the sun, a car(12 volt power), a fueled generator(if needed), 120 volts from the wall, and other battery banks. Each unit has an electrical inverter(for power from batteries or the sun), a multi-charger(some charge from 12 – 120 volts), and a MPPT converter,(converting solar for usage and charging). With the multiple options you have for charging you will always have another avenue to charge the unit, when one is less likely to produce the charging power we need. It would be highly unlikely all of these situations will be shut down, not allowing you to charge the electrical generator.
What is the length of time
expected for either unit?
Below are the basic things you need to know about maintenance for electric or fueled generators.
When properly maintained, fuel generators will last 2 to 5 years, saying this, this is when people usually have problems. This generator should last you a life time, but with the failure of mechanical parts and maintenance, people usually have a good run for 2 to 5 years. These units require a good bit of maintenance. Right off the back, you should already know what kind of person you are, and we just asked the major determining question, what kind of person are you? With maintenance, you need to change oils, change oil/ fuel/ air filters, change spark plugs, apply fuel conditioners for running and storage, and keep the unit in an enclosed environment(away from the harsh environment we live in). Through time, you will also have to buy the fuel required for this unit, dealing with taxes and inflation of fuels at that time.
With very low maintenance, electric generators will last 7 to 20 years. You don’t have to do any of the maintenance for fuel generators. Every 6 to 12 months, you need to charge the batteries, if you haven’t been using it. The units will practically maintain and take care of themselves. That’s what we are all heading for in life, little to no maintenance on items, allowing us to enjoy life. Besides cleaning and covering the unit, covering the ports, and topping off the charge on the batteries, there is really not more to maintaining this type of unit.
How do I know what size
generator to buy?
Well, that ends up being a pretty tricky question, but a simple one to answer. Below, we provide a simple chart for you to follow, and a simple questionnaire for you to download, and calculate, what wattage is in the best interest, for your new generator. This allows you to calculate the usage for fueled or electric generators. First, we want to ask you a few questions, making sure you don’t jump the gun, and make the wrong decision.
