Generators

Most year-round renewable energy systems make use of a generator to provide the extra power required. There are many choices for generators - gas, propane or diesel? Portable or stationary? Size? There are pros and cons for various types of generators

Sub  CATEGORIES   Gasoline Generators The Honda “EU” Series generator is hands down the best small generator on the marketplace. These little workhorses will outperform much larger generators in terms of battery charging performance in a renewable energy system. They all feature a variable throttle to match engine speed to electrical load. The series is powered by reliable Honda four-stroke engines utilizing patented exhaust and muffler technology that makes these generators one of if not the quietest gas powered generator on the market today! Diesel Generators If you are looking for fuel efficiency, longevity, and reliability, diesel is for you. You will pay more up front for a diesel unit, and recover that savings over it's lifespan. Diesel engines operate at 45% fuel conversion efficiency, as opposed to gasoline units around 30. Lifespan is significantly longer. A diesel engine can be run on many types of fuels, including biodiesel. We carry a selection of commercial generators featuring Yanmar industrial engines. LPG/CNG Generators These are heavy-duty, stationary generators that operate on Propane (LPG) or Natural Gas (CNG) fuels. These generators offer extremely quiet operation - less than 70 dB(A) at 7 m (you can easily talk to someone else standing beside the unit). Full 2-wire automatic start for integration with generator start inverters such as the Xantrex SW series or manual remote switch. Many remote homes already have a large propane tank that is occasionally filled by a truck. These generators can tie into that system, bringing an end to constant hauling in of fuel. For on-grid folks, by using one of the RST transfer switches this unit will automatically power your essential loads in the event of a power outage. Generator Accessories Cables, mufflers, and accessories that are often required to complete your generator installation.
