Solar Generator for House

A solar generator can power a whole house, but it depends on the generator's capacity and your household's energy needs. Not all units are powerful enough for whole-home systems. You need to calculate the combined wattage of the appliances you want to run to ensure the generator's capacity (measured in Watt-hours or Wh) and running wattage are sufficient.

First, make a list of all the appliances and devices you want to power. Then, find the "running wattage" (the power they use continuously) and "starting wattage" (the initial power surge needed to turn them on) for each item. Add up the running wattages of the items you'll use at the same time to find your total running wattage, and find the highest starting wattage of any single item.

Yes. Once the battery is charged, it can provide power anytime, day or night, regardless of sunlight. During cloudy weather, the solar panels may charge more slowly, but if you have sufficient battery storage, you can still run your devices.

Yes, high-quality solar generators with LiFePO4 batteries are designed to be reliable for emergency backup. They require very little maintenance, unlike gas generators, and can be used immediately when the power goes out.
