Solar Generators
AUTO START SOLAR GENERATORS FOR OFF-GRID SOLAR
Solar power is a great when the sun’s shining. You can use your appliances for free because your solar panels are collecting power from the sun and converting it into electricity. A diesel generator for solar backup is to generate electricity when the solar power system is not sufficient or available. A solar generator can be used as a backup power source for off-grid or hybrid solar systems, especially in areas with unreliable or non-existent grid supply.Advantages of using solar generators for backup are:
• Reliability: Solar generators can provide consistent and stable power output regardless of the weather conditions or time of day. Solar generators can also handle high loads and surges without damaging the equipment.
• Longevity: Solar generators can last for a long time with proper maintenance and care. Diesel engines are durable and robust, and can withstand harsh environments and heavy use.
Here’s how it works:
Solar panels generate power all day, storing it in batteries, and then supply that stored power to your connected home. However when the weather turns and the solar panels are no longer creating energy, your household starts using the power that’s been stored in the battery, and the charge level gets lower and lower.
The two-wire auto start controller is connected from a portable or standby solar generator to the off-grid solar system control panel, external to the generator. This detects when the deep-cycle battery charge is low and turns on the generator to charge up the battery pack. It then automatically stops once the battery charge levels are topped up.
Why choose a 2-wire auto start?
A generator with a two-wire auto start option means you get all the benefits of solar power with the peace of mind that there’s backup generator power on demand. So if you get a prolonged period without decent sunlight to charge your solar set up, you’ll never be without power as the backup generator will have you covered.Diesel v. Petrol which is the best?
Diesel Generator ProsCheaper to run, diesel engines last longer, hold their value for longer, simpler and more reliable engines.
Diesel Generator Cons
Diesel engines emit more noxious gases and more expensive to buy in the first place.
Petrol Generator Pros
Cheaper to buy in the first place.
Petrol Generator Cons
Petrol is way more volatile than diesel, more complicated engines with electrical systems and they don't last as long as diesel engines.
