Solar generators capture the sun’s energy via solar panels, store that energy in a battery bank, and release it through an inverter to be used for standard AC power. That is the standard definition of a solar generator.
Based on this definition, the key elements to look for in solar generators are:
- Battery storage capacity
- Solar PV input
- Inverter rating
- Component quality
- Portability
- Balanced system design
In this article, we will explore these key elements and hopefully give you a better understanding of each element, how is fits into the overall performance of your system, and what to watch out for in the plethora of systems and choices out in the solar generator market these days.
