Have You Ever Wondered What You Can Run With Our Solar Generators And How Many Batteries You Will Need?
The charts below show a list of appliances that our Solar/Wind Generators are capable of powering, the run time required, and the # of batteries required.
Keep in mind that the run time is based on the battery, not the inverter. For example: a big battery will run your TV longer than a small battery. It has nothing to do with the inverter. The inverter is the output capacity of a generator.
First, you need to know what will be your power consumption/wattage input for the appliances you plan to run with this Solar Generator
In the chart below you can know how many batteries you will need to power your devices per 1, 2, or 6 hours. Remember we have a BATTERY QUANTITY CALCULATOR that will help you.
