The Rebel is a one for one replacement for a typical gas or diesel generator.  It has the same familiar inputs and outputs as a gas generator, so if your home is already set up for a generator you don't need to make any further modifications.  If you have had a gas generator, you can most likely use your same generator cord and transfer switch.

That’s why savvy homeowners invest in the Rebel Solar Generator, providing 120V/240V of off-grid support to power their entire home.

Free from the loud noise levels, high fuel expenses, and carbon monoxide risks of gas generators, the Rebel offers a full spectrum of customizations such as battery capacity, output, solar panels, and wind turbine controls. You can even plug and play your own batteries and solar panels.  The Rebel Solar Generator is perfect for homes, RV's, cabins, well pumps and any other 240V or 120V applications.

Made right here in the USA, the Rebel brings heavy-duty, premium quality to your home that’s ready immediately upon delivery. In turn, homeowners can count on greater power input & output, functionality, and durability than the Rebel’s flimsy and lightweight competitors.

All the while, the Rebel’s modular design means simple part replacements and easy additions for more solar panel or battery connections.

Whether you’re looking to stay prepared for anything or are in need of a long-term, off-grid solution, the Rebel offers uncompromising peace of mind. Not to mention, the Rebel ensures immediate ROI by cutting down grid spending during peak hours.

When it comes to your family’s safety and wellbeing, gas generators and cheap imported solar generators simply miss the mark. Only the Rebel delivers the features that matter with the dependability you need.

To accommodate your customizations, the Rebel features a 1-2 month lead time. Order now to make this the last season your home was left unprepared.

Hardware Features

• 120V and 240V outlets, The same familiar connections as a typical gas generator
• Weatherproof and outdoor rated.  Exterior connections are waterproof and designed for outdoor use.  The Rebel is designed to live outside 24/7/365.

• Exterior post terminals for connecting as many additional batteries as you need.  Use our lithium batteries or use your own batteries.
• Easily add multiple solar panels to speed up charging.
• Car charger and faster wall chargers available for purchase.  Integrated 240V AC charger included as standard.
• Expandable: Add batteries as you go
• Industrial temperature controls on each MPPT charge controller(s) and inverter(s) keep critical components cool even in the summer heat by using smart fans to cycle air.  The fans turn off to save power when they aren't needed.  Battery warmers for sub-freezing temps optional.
• The best marine grade 200°C rated silicone insulated and UL listed wire we can find, and always crimped or soldered in Houston, TX.
• Locking mechanism allows padlock to prevent theft / vandalism.
• Large, sturdy wheels for use on smooth surfaces or off-road.  Extendable metal handle for ease when rolling.

Electrical / Software features

Low frequency inverter:

The Rebel features a low frequency inverter.  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.  MOSFETs 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/moisture damage to the electronics.
• Low frequency inverters have a higher surge output than high frequency inverters. (300% surge versus typical 200%)  For example: The 4,000W Rebel has a 12,000W surge rating.
• The surge rating of 300% is for a full 20 seconds! Almost all solar generators except the Rebel have a surge rating of about 10 milliseconds to 2 seconds.

 Additional features:

• Totally Plug and Play: No crimping, splicing, or extra wiring needed.
• 240V Outlets, 3-prong 120V outlets, USB-A and USB-C connections and a 12V cigarette socket standard on all versions.
• Easily connects to your home's breaker box via a transfer switch (optional). 
• Modern and Efficient MPPT charging. 
• Continuous monitoring, programming and setting adjustment via Bluetooth app.  
• Automatic battery recognition for 12/24V Flooded, AGM and GEL batteries.  Lithium batteries are manually set up at the Cutting Edge Power factory.
• 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.  A minimum of 4 quiet and high-speed cooling fans are independently controlled by their own temperature sensor to maximize the lifespan of your Rebel's inverter, charge controller and batteries (if equipped).
• Battery temperature sensors on each inverter(s) and charge controller(s) to maximize battery lifespan by adjusting charge and discharge rates.
• Built-in 240V battery charger to charge via L14-30 input at 240VAC to DC batteries at up to 1,440W (Requires 240V split phase AC input only, not 120V.  For 120V chargers, search for "Wall Charger" or "WC".  Depends on battery chemistry.)
• 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.

Rebel Optional Features (Wind & Solar version):

• Basic wind controls: Easy wind turbine connection with 3 phase AC wind turbine input via quick reusable connectors.
• 400W and larger options: Basic wind controls plus built-in wind turbine brake to stop/slow the blades when raising or lowering your turbine.
• 400W and larger options: 3 phase AC to DC rectifier pre-wired for charging your battery with a 3 phase wild AC wind turbine.
• Temperature controlled high-flow fans for autonomous operation.

Rebel Advanced Features

The Rebel Advanced Features are not intended for beginners or novice users.  However, all it takes is a little bit of reading and some patience to become an advanced user.  The following features can be accessed on all Rebel Solar Generators.  They are described in detail in the Rebel Inverter Manual, but feel free to ask us if you have any questions.

• Automatic transfer switch operation: This is similar to a conventional UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) used with computers and electronics.  This requires the Rebel's 240VAC input AND 240VAC output to be continuously connected to your home or building.  Note: The Rebel's "Input" is sometimes referred to as "Shore power" or "shore connection".  With this feature enabled, your home or building will continuously run on power from the grid until the grid goes down.  Within 8 milliseconds of the grid going down, power will be transferred to the Rebel's inverter/battery off-grid system only.  Visit Rebel Inverter Manual section 2.5.5 for more details.
• Gas Generator Auto-start for backup charging: (Only works with gas generators that have auto-start function).  When the Rebel's battery voltage drops to 10.0V DC (21.0V DC on 24V models), the Rebel will send a signal to start your gas generator.  The gas generator will remain on until the batteries are fully charged.  This allows you to maximize your free solar/wind power, but still have the reliability and dependability of a gas generator.  The auto-start feature is completely automatic, so no more waking up in the middle of the night to start up the generator!  Visit Rebel Inverter Manual section 2.5.13 for more details.

Combining these two features equips your home or business with the most cutting-edge backup power system available on the market.  The system takes advantage of the best of both worlds; free and reliable solar power as primary, but still the option of falling back on traditional gas generator power.  These two advanced features (along with Rebel's other features) will provide a fully automatic backup system that you will never have to think about!
