Is this solar generator good for me?

The way to find a solar generator fit for your needs is to comprehensively assess both your needs and the capabilities of the device under consideration.

needs assessment

  1. assess the solar / alternator / generator / shore power you need to recharge that battery bank and to run your loads
  2. assess the type and size inverter you need
  3. figure out how long you need the unit to last. 1 year? 5 years?

product assessment

Answering these questions will require reading the product specs/manual:

  • How well does the product under consideration meet the needs above?
  • How effectively will it charge from your chosen sources?
  • What is the chemistry of the internal batteries?

If it meets your needs, does it do so at a price you are willing to pay?
