What Is an Inverter Generator?

Inverter generators burn fossil fuels like gas, propane, and diesel to produce off-grid and standby power with better fuel efficiency and less noise than portable gas generators. Instead of constantly running at full speed, inverters throttle up or down based on electricity consumption — saving you money and providing cleaner power.

Inverters are less noisy than gas generators, but because they burn gas or propane, they can’t be used indoors. EcoFlow Smart Generators are Dual-Fuel inverters that run on unleaded gasoline or propane (LPG).

What Is a Portable Power Station?

Portable power stations provide energy security by storing electricity in batteries for off-grid or home backup applications.

A portable power station doesn’t generate power alone — instead, you recharge its batteries by connecting additional components like an inverter generator or solar panels.

Or you can plug into a wall outlet or other source of power.

EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 offers seamless compatibility with Smart Generator (Dual-Fuel) Inverters, solar panels, household electricity (AC), 800W alternator charging, and more, with 7 unique and 18 combo charging methods.

Industry-leading LFP batteries and proprietary X-Core 3 technology provide 4000 cycles to 80% capacity — over a decade of daily use.

Expandable to 48kWh of storage, DELTA Pro 3 delivers 4000W of AC output and supports up to 6000W of high-wattage appliances simultaneously. Use EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 or a transfer switch to integrate with your home circuits for Uninterruptible Power Supply during blackouts.

What Is a Hybrid Inverter Generator?

A hybrid inverter generator combines the convenience of gas and propane-powered inverters with all the benefits of portable power station LFP battery storage.

With multiple charging options, including gasoline, propane, household electricity (AC), and solar panels, EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro 3 + Smart Generator 4000 bundles offer a compact and affordable off-grid and home backup power solution that leaves portable gas generators in the dust.

What Are the Benefits of Hybrid Inverter Generators?

Inverter generators have numerous advantages over portable gas generators, including quieter operation, increased fuel efficiency, and “cleaner” power suitable for a wider range of sensitive electronics.

All inverter generators burn fossil fuels and cannot be used indoors.

Even though they’re significantly less noisy than portable gas generators, campgrounds and other shared areas may still restrict their use.

By seamlessly integrating the Smart Generator 4000 (Dual Fuel) with EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3, you get off-grid plug-and-play power that you can use anywhere: indoors and outdoors, day or night.

Are Inverter Generators More Fuel-Efficient & Eco-Friendly?

Yes, under light and medium electrical loads. Portable gas generators run at only one speed — full throttle. If you have a 2000W portable gas generator but only consume 1000W of electricity, you’ll still burn the same amount of fuel.

Inverter generators throttle up and down based on consumption. In many applications, you’ll burn less fuel to meet your electricity needs. Many inverter generators run on propane (LPG) — the “cleanest” fossil fuel — it’s considerably more eco-friendly than diesel or gasoline. It’s essential to note that the closer your electricity consumption gets to an inverter generator’s maximum load (AC output), the fewer fuel efficiency benefits you’ll receive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does an Inverter Generator Work?

Unlike regular gas or propane generators, inverter generators convert “dirty” AC electricity to direct current (DC) and back to AC again for consumption. The inversion process conditions the power, making it much “cleaner” and suitable for sensitive electronics. Traditional fossil fuel generators only run at full speed. Inverter generators throttle up and down based on electricity consumption for optimal efficiency and reduced fuel costs. Hybrid inverter generator systems like EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 can run on gas or propane and up to 6 other charging methods. EcoFlow’s DELTA generators are safe for indoor use and offer many additional benefits.

Is an Inverter Generator Better Than a Regular Generator?

Inverter generators offer two primary advantages over regular gas and propane generators. “Cleaner” power for sensitive electronics and better fuel efficiency. However, traditional inverter generators have many limitations. Because they rely entirely on burning fossil fuels, indoor operation is prohibited. As well as ongoing fuel and maintenance costs, traditional inverter generators are noisy and emit deadly Carbon Monoxide and particulate pollution. Hybrid inverter generators like EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 + Smart Generator 4000 (Dual Fuel) provide all the energy security and efficiency of traditional inverter generators plus up to 7 additional charging options. Once EcoFlow DELTA is charged, you can use it anywhere in your home.

How to Choose Between an Inverter Generator and a Power Station?

Why choose between a traditional inverter generator and a power station when you can have the best of both worlds? EcoFlow’s DELTA hybrid inverter generator systems offer up to 7 charging options, including lighting-fast DC-to-DC charging with gas or propane-fueled Smart Generators — including EcoFlow Smart Generator 4000, the leading inverter generator available. Why limit yourself to fossil fuels? You can also connect solar panels, household AC power, or a Smart Home Panel for the ultimate in energy security, monitoring, and control.

Is an Inverter Generator Worth It?

"Inverter generators have a higher price tag than outdated gasoline and propane (LPG) generators, but your higher upfront costs will pay off in the long term. Traditional gas generators only have one speed — full blast. Even if you only connect a single power tool or appliance, you’ll empty your tank as quickly as you would at maximum wattage. Plus, the dirty AC power that traditional fossil fuel generators produce can fry your sensitive electronics. Inverter generators throttle up or down based on electricity consumption to save on fuel and are safe for even the most sensitive devices. Better yet, combine EcoFlow’s DELTA series portable power station designed for indoor use with a propane/gas-fueled Smart Generator for a dual-fuel hybrid inverter generator with up to 7 charging options."
