Inexpensive solar powered backup generator?
admin on September 8th, 2011
Want a backup generator with its solar panels included and can be used to hook up to important areas of the house. Maybe smaller generators for point to point hookup, i.e., one for the frig, one for the microwave and kerosene monitor, one for the main AC.. Don’t want an electrician having to do a lot of work and need something simple and safe if such exists. Thanks
A turn-key solar generator is suitable for your situation. Split into small pieces is not efficient.
There aint no such an animal.

Hey you and i think alike ! Except it wouldn’t be like one of those Honda generators. You would have a converter of sorts with the cells. Then run an extension cord ran to what ever. I like your thinking. You can actually build your self a proto type of a "portable" solar supply. Come back to me when you get rich.

If you shop carefully, you can beat the market price for getting off the grid. Right now, it costs about 22 YEARS’ electric bill to convert your home to solar. That’s a long time to wait for a system to pay for itself.
The best bang for the buck in a small system is Sound Wisdom’s SG-EU, which offers 5,000 watts of 220-volt Australian current, two 120-watt solar panels, 230-amphours of battery, and a 40-amp charger. Unlike all the other small backup systems out there, Sound Wisdom’s systems are indefinitely expandable: you can add as many solar panels and batteries as you like, as you get the money. You can even add panels and batteries from other companies; it’s open architecture. You can also take the output from a windmill, water wheel, bicycle generator, gas generator, whatever, and feed it straight into the battery bank to be stored for when you need it back as household current.
You won’t find a better system unless you need milspec, you won’t find a more cost-effective system anywhere, and there is no other system below milspec that is indefinitely expandable. And, your purchase helps support charity work; always a good thing.
