A solar generator works by storing electricity generated by the attached solar panels, which absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). As long as they have exposure to sunlight, the panels can generate energy, which you can use to power your devices and appliances. A common misconception is that solar generators require direct sunlight to operate, but they can still absorb light even on cloudy days.

When people talk about the ‘size’ of a solar generator, they generally mean its power capacity. The capacity is most often measured via their wattage. A good rule of thumb is to purchase a generator with almost double the capacity you need to ensure you have sufficient power even during a prolonged blackout.

Depending on the brand and the quality of the battery, you can expect a solar generator to last years. For example, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro uses a state-of-the-art LFP battery, which will last for 6500 cycles before reaching 50% of its original capacity. A battery management system helps prolong the device's lifespan for a lasting, cost-effective solution.

The devices and appliances you can run depend on the generator’s capacity. Lower wattage generators like the portable EcoFlow RIVER with a 288Wh capacity can power your smaller devices, such as laptops and smartphones. To power larger appliances, like a refrigerator, you will need a higher capacity generator like the DELTA Pro, which has a starting capacity of 3.6kWh that you can expand up to 25kWh.

Yes, solar generators are safe, especially compared to traditional fossil fuel generators. They don't emit harmful fumes or use flammable materials to create power. They use solar panels to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. The power is stored in a state-of-the-art battery until you need it to charge or operate your chosen devices. There is no concern about blown fuses from power surges either. If a solar generator doesn't have the necessary wattage, it won't power the device.

If staying connected and saving money are essential to you, solar generators are absolutely worth it. They provide a safe, renewable way to keep your devices and appliances going when you need them most, whether during a blackout, going off-grid, or traveling to remote locations. Since they don’t rely on grid power, they also reduce your utility costs. Solar generators are clean, efficient, and versatile, which helps explain their growing popularity. Solar generators are also a practical way for you to reduce your carbon footprint, as they use 100% renewable green energy that produces no CO2 emissions.

Gas generators operate on fuel, are loud, can’t be used indoors, and require ongoing maintenance. EcoFlow solar generators bundles are clean, require no maintenance, and don’t incur ongoing costs. In addition, you can safely use an EcoFlow portable power station indoors.

EcoFlow DELTA solar generator bundles are designed to keep your devices running for hours on end. Take a DELTA Max solar generator bundle for example, you can power a 60W fridge for up to 33 hours. You can keep most of your essential devices like laptops, smartphones, and small appliances running throughout the day.

EcoFlow solar generator bundles contain our industry-leading portable power stations, which come with an advanced battery management system that regulates voltage, temperature, and current in real time. This gives you a safe, reliable battery that you can use for years on end.
