Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar generator?

A solar generator is the combination of a portable battery bank with a solar panel. In a way, it’s really two products: the portable battery bank, often called a “portable power station” that you can use to power and charge your devices, and one or more solar panels that you can use to charge the portable battery bank itself.

How do solar power generators work?

These systems capture sunlight via solar panels, convert it into electricity with an inverter, and store it in a battery for later use. Whether you need backup power at home, energy for off-grid adventures, or a portable option for outdoor events, solar power generators offer a flexible and eco‑friendly solution.

What is a portable solar generator?

Portable panels give you the ability to charge your solar generator when you need to and then pack it up for storage when you’re on the go. These are often used for camping needs or for short-term use if there’s a power outage and you need to charge your batteries up.

What is the battery capacity of a portable solar generator?

There are portable solar generators that come with battery capacities as small as 150Wh. This is essentially the same battery capacity as three large power banks combined. For example, I used to own a Yeti 200X power station that had a 187Wh battery.
