Solar Powered Generator

A solar powered generator is used to produce electricity from the sun’s energy and can then be used to power small household appliances such as  lights, radios and fans.  Solar powered generators can also be lightweight and portable and are ideal for camping and outdoor lifestyle..

A solar powered generator comprises of several parts.

  • Solar panels to collect the solar energy from sunlight.
  • Component to store the collected energy until it is ready to be used and this is usually a deep cycle battery made for continuous use.
  • An Inverter that converts the DC power to AC to supply power to household appliances.

Solar panels are used to capture the sun’s energy and are then connected to a deep-cycle or continuous battery which stores the energy.  Energy stored in this battery is DC and therefore the solar powered generator requires an inverted which converts the electricity from DC to AC allowing household appliances to access the unit.

A small solar powered generator can be build with a few parts and some basic tools and can be used topower smaller devices while more advanced systems can be used to power households and businesses.

Solar powered generators produce no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution.

Solar powered generators are rechargeable from the sun’s energy, helps reduce electricity bills and provides no noise pollution making it extremely environmental friendly.
