What can a solar generator power?
As our reliance on traditional power sources grows, the challenges of aging infrastructure, unreliable grids, energy shortages, and escalating prices have become a global concern. In this article, we delve into the untapped potential of portable solar generators, exploring their capabilities and practical applications.
First let's focus on choosing the Right Solar Generator. With a myriad of solar generators flooding the market, selecting the one that aligns with your needs is crucial. Here are key factors to consider:
-
Power Capacity: Determine the power required to run your devices or appliances and the duration needed. Whether it's fridges, TVs, WiFi, or everyday essentials, solar generators offer stored power for uninterrupted living during grid failures or as a sustainable energy alternative. Higher battery capacity equals more power.
-
Portability: Seek a compact, lightweight option that seamlessly integrates into your home without consuming space. Ideal for vital power during outages or achieving off-grid energy independence, choose a solar generator that adapts to your life with ease, free from complicated integrations.
-
Expandability: Certain solar generators, like the hubz Pro series, enable you to link additional units, customizing power levels on demand. Connect multiple generators for double, triple, or even tenfold power output.
-
Certified Quality and Durability: Invest in a solar generator prioritizing quality, durability, and reliability. While LiFePO4 or FLP batteries may be pricier, their lightweight, safety, and longevity (up to ten years) make them a wise choice. Features like Battery Management Systems (BMS) and MPPT ensure reliable power even with high demands. Look for certifications like UL and CE for quality assurance.
By considering these factors, you can find a solar generator tailored to your needs, providing a dependable energy source when it matters most.

Why and When to Use a Solar Generator for Power?
-
Blackouts, Power Failures, Unreliable Electricity: Solar generators serve as a reliable backup when homes worldwide face blackouts and power failures. Simply plug and play, using your appliances during outages, then recharge or top up the power.
-
Rising Energy Costs: Solar generators harness stored energy from the sun using solar panels or charge directly from mains power. Take advantage of lower night-time electricity rates by charging at night, achieving true energy independence.
-
Remote Locations, Off-Grid Living: For those embracing off-grid living, solar generators power everything required to sustain your life, whether it's a home without mains power connections or a retreat away from civilization.
What Size and Power Solar Generator Do I Need?
Tailoring the solar generator to your requirements depends on usage and appliances. hubz Power offers two portable options and a comprehensive home energy solution. Consider these scenarios:
-
Frequent, Lengthy Power Cuts: For reliable on-demand power to run 99% of home appliances, a high-powered solar generator like hubz Pro at 1556WH is ideal. Portable, easily charged using solar panels or mains, and capable of linking multiple units for increased power.
-
Complete Energy Independence and/or Multi-Day Home Backup: For sustained power during extended outages, hubz STAX offers modular solar generators ranging from 5000WH to a massive 90000WH. Ideal for true off-grid living, best used with fixed solar panel systems for sustainable energy.
Maintenance and Care for Solar Generators.
While solar generators can last up to a decade hassle-free, proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity. Consider these maintenance tips:
-
Regular Cleaning: Shield the solar generator from water, dust, and sand, keeping it clean and efficient.
-
Monitor Battery Health: Keep tabs on the battery's health and charge levels using the smart LED screen.
