Question 1

What size solar generator is needed to power key appliances during an outage?

Accepted Answer

To determine the right size, identify the appliances you need to power (like a refrigerator, lights, or phone chargers) and add up their starting wattages – this is the peak power they draw when first turned on. Then, choose a solar generator with a starting wattage that exceeds that total. For smaller loads, consider less than 1000 or 1000 - 2000 options, while larger needs might require 2000 - 3000 or higher. This ensures your device powers smoothly, and a solar generator in the range listed provides a reliable backup power source.

Question 2

What are some popular brands of job site solar generators?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality job site solar generators include ROCKSOLAR, Champion Power Equipment, and RYOBI.

Question 3

Does a solar generator need any extra accessories to get started?

Accepted Answer

Everything you need for basic operation is included right in the box, like the battery and adapter. Some models include extras like wheel kit or cover for protection or wireless remote to get started right away.

Question 4

Which plugs and outlets are typically used with solar generators?

Accepted Answer

Solar generators typically offer a variety of outlets, from standard 3-prong plugs for household appliances to USB Ports for charging phones and tablets. Some models will offer a 4-prong plug for higher-wattage devices.

Accepted Answer

Question 6

How much battery capacity do I need in a solar generator to power my essentials during a power outage?

Accepted Answer

Figuring out the right battery capacity (measured in Watt-hours or Wh) starts with identifying what appliances and devices you need to keep running, like your refrigerator, lights, and phone. Add up the wattage of these items and estimate how long you'll need to run them for, then look for a solar generator with a Wh rating that meets or exceeds that need – bigger is always better to ensure you have power to spare, and some models are expandable!
