Technical FAQs 3

Can you use a generator if you have solar panels?

Fossil fuel-powered generators can work independently of solar panels to give you backup power. However, solar batteries (and solar generators) are a good alternative if you prefer to stick with green energy. Why would you need a generator if you have solar panels?

Can a solar battery power a generator?

Plus, a battery can keep your solar panels running when the grid is down - something a generator cannot do. You can maximize your home's resilience against power outages by installing both a solar battery and a standby generator. Much like with solar panels, a generator and battery cannot power your home at the same time.

Can a generator run a home with solar power?

Here’s the deal - even if you have a standby generator hooked up to your home, your solar panels aren’t going to turn on when the grid is down. Unfortunately, you cannot run your home with both solar power and generator power at the same time. In other words, the generator and the solar panels cannot operate parallel to one another.
