What is a solar generator & how does it work?

Solar generators convert sunlight into energy to power your devices and appliances when you don’t have electricity, making them a perfect item to bring with you on a camping trip, or as a home backup system for running small appliances during a power outage.

Can a solar generator support off-grid living?

Yes. Some generators use electricity or gas for power, and all power generators are able to support off-grid living. However, some people prefer solar generators for the following reasons: They’re more eco-friendly because they use energy from the sun as opposed to fossil fuels.

Does the Generac come with solar panels?

It’s well suited as an emergency backup or a remote power source for tailgating and camping. The Generac does not come with solar panels, but we charged it using our own Ecoflow 400-watt portable panels. With the Ecoflows, we got the generator from 28 percent to 100 percent in just under 5 hours.

Should you buy a solar generator or a power station?

Ideally, you want a solar generator that juices up your electronics quickly, but you also want a power station that can be charged up fairly quickly. This usually isn’t something you have to worry about with modern power stations from top brands like Jackery or EcoFlow. With solar generators, the tightest bottleneck is the solar panels themselves.

Where can I buy a solar generator?

Get the EcoFlow solar generator at Amazon (1 solar panel), The Home Depot (solar panels sold separately), Walmart (solar panels sold separately), Campervan HQ (1 solar panel), or EcoFlow (1 solar panel).

Can a solar generator be used with solar panels?

A solar generator must be able to be recharged using sunlight, but these power stations aren’t designed to be used exclusively with solar panels. You can charge them up more quickly via a standard AC outlet. This is preferable when available, so you may not need to bring out your solar panels at all.
