The Rebel is a 240v solar generator specifically designed to replace a gas generator, and has the following advantages over gas generators:

• Reliable: Fully automated: No start-ups, No fill-ups
• No regular maintenance: No oil changes, no filter changes, and no fuel additives.
• Energy Independence: Solar power isn’t related to the economy like gasoline is. A Solar generator system will be resilient through hard times of natural disaster recovery and uncertain times.
• Safe to use indoors and extremely quiet (some lead acid batteries may require ventilation). 

The Rebel is outdoor rated and weatherproof.  The pure sine low frequency inverter is at the heart of its extreme rugged reliability.  And it can plug directly into your home’s main circuit panel via our generator transfer switch.

Why does it have a low frequency inverter?

• Weighing about 3 times more than a high frequency inverter, it’s definitely not to save on shipping costs!  

Low frequency inverters are extra heavy duty.  They use powerful transformers (lots of copper!) which makes them more reliable and sturdier than the cheap high frequency inverter’s MOSFETs, which use electronic switching and are more prone to damage, particularly at high power levels.

• Low frequency inverters have a much higher tolerance for harsh and humid environments, making our solar generators ideal for use in emergency situations.  Plus, our Rebel's inverter has conformal coating on the PCB, further reducing the potential water damage to the electronics.
• Low frequency inverters have a higher surge output than high frequency inverters. (300% surge versus typical 200%)

All electronics are mounted inside which means there’s no exposed wiring and the sensitive components are protected from the elements.  Exterior connections are waterproof and designed for outdoor use.

Being able to supply your own battery, or use our battery makes this solar generator one of the best and least expensive options on the market.  Cutting Edge Power solar generators are completely modular with connections to add more batteries in the future. 

Solar generators are an excellent investment for hurricane / natural disaster preparation, backup power for your home, camping, tailgating, medical devices, refrigerators, air conditioners, construction equipment and tools, CPAP machines and more.  Future maintenance is easy with simple hand tools and off-the-shelf parts, unlike some solar generators that are worthless if one component fails.  Designed in America and professionally wired in Houston, TX so you can rest assured you’ll have the best performing solar generator available. 

Featuring our new high performance MPPT solar charge controller, these solar generators can be used with virtually any battery on earth.  Installing your own batteries is super easy: Just connect the supplied 5/16” ring terminal wires to your battery’s posts. 

Cutting Edge Power lithium battery packs are welded, assembled and tested in Houston, TX.  Even better, our lithium batteries are factory-installed when purchased with a solar generator.  Our lithium batteries provide about +450% lifetime and +100% run time over traditional lead acid batteries.  Plus, they’re about half the size.

Hardware Features:

• Large, sturdy wheels for use on smooth surfaces or off-road.  Extendable metal handle for ease when rolling. 

• Temperature controlled fan keeps MPPT charge controller cool even in the summer heat.

• Pre-wired and ready to go: 5/16" ring battery terminals fit most batteries.
• Pre-wired and ready to go: Plug your solar panels directly into the pre-wired solar panel connectors.  No crimping, splicing, or extra wiring needed.
• Totally modular:
• Exterior 3/8” post terminals for connecting as many additional batteries as you need.
• Easily add multiple solar panels to speed up charging.
• Car charger and faster wall chargers available for purchase.
• Internal terminal block with extra ports for connecting your own additional 12V devices.
• Critical connections made with the best marine grade 200°C rated silicone insulated wire we can find, and crimped or soldered in Houston, TX.
• Locking mechanism allows padlock to prevent theft / vandalism.

Software features:

• Modern and Efficient MPPT charging.
• Continuous monitoring via Bluetooth app. 
• Automatic battery recognition for 12/24V Flooded, AGM and GEL batteries.  Lithium batteries can be manually set.
• Simple menus with a Large Back-lit LCD display. The display shows system status, solar input current, solar input voltage, battery voltage, and battery state of charge (%).  The menu rotates through these parameters automatically, so a wireless camera can be used to remotely monitor them.
• Temperature compensation for better battery charging in cold or hot ambient temperatures.
• All of the industry standard protections like reverse solar polarity protection, reverse battery polarity protection, battery over-discharge, battery over-voltage, and a 30A circuit breaker on the 12V sockets.
• Supported by Cutting Edge Power, headquartered in the USA, with experienced technical support and a large array of accessories on our website.

Additional Features (Wind & Solar version):

• Easy wind turbine connection with 3 phase AC wind turbine input via quick reusable connectors.
• Built-in wind turbine brake to stop/slow the blades when raising or lowering your turbine
• 3 phase AC to DC rectifier for charging your battery
• Temperature controlled high-flow fans for autonomous operation.

 Specifications: 

Lithium batteries are factory installed. SLA batteries ship separately due to the weight.  If needed, our Expansion Box can accommodate additional batteries.
