Having a backup generator in your home means you’re not utterly dependent on the power grid, which sometimes fails. With a whole house solar generator in New Jersey, you’re not dependent on gasoline either. In fact, your power comes from the sun, meaning it’s free, renewable and great for the environment.
How They Work
Solar generators use solar panels to capture and convert the sun’s rays to electricity. This electricity is then stored in the generator’s battery bank. When it’s time for power, the generator will convert what’s in the battery into AC power. Other types of generators use fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, or gas to generate the power they need., With solar generators, you’re tapping into a renewable resource.
Power Output
You may be wondering if a whole house solar generator in New Jersey is capable of running your home, and the answer is yes. Home solar generators today can pump out the thousands of necessary watts needed to keep your home running. As a consumer, you’ll have to decide if you want a unit with the capacity of running your entire home or one that’s capable of powering just the essentials, such as appliances, computers and lights.
Sunlight
Solar generators are dependent upon the sun. The panels need to be in a place where they can capture as much sun as possible each day. Some high-end generators have sun-tracking panels that follow the sun throughout the day for maximum exposure. Thanks to the battery, it doesn’t have to be sunny when you use your unit, only when recharging it.
