Solar Generators

Backup power is an alternative energy source that activates automatically or manually when the grid fails. It ensures your daily life keeps going by supplying the needed electricity.

Generally, a home backup battery is an electrical system providing emergency power during an outage. They are usually sold as power stations or solar generators.

When an outage occurs, home battery backups power essential appliances, such as fridges, microwaves, and more. They can also charge necessary devices, like phones and tablets.

A solar generator is always better if you value peace and quiet, minimal maintenance, and clean power. For outages that last days or weeks or to run high-wattage appliances, gas generators typically provide greater capacity and duration.

Portable power stations and solar generators are designed with efficiency in mind. They minimize power use when idle.

They do consume more electricity when charging or discharging, but their overall energy usage is modest compared to larger home appliances.

This makes them cost-effective solutions for backup power without significantly impacting energy bills, especially since they rely on renewable energy like solar.

This depends based on the appliances you're powering.

Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus Portable Power Station delivers 3,840Wh and can power multiple appliances at once.

Based on device specs and user experience, it can power one LED for 36.4 hours, a TV for 20 hours, and a typical fridge for 14.9 hours.

This depends based on your specific needs. Consider what appliances you use and how long a typical outage is. These will all factor into your capacity requirements.

You'll want to keep three points in mind when maintaing a solar generator.

Battery Care:
The solar generator battery is important. It affects the performance and lifespan of the system. To improve its lifespan, keep it charged, but not overcharged.

Solar Panels:
Solar panels should be clean for maximum efficiency. Dust, grime, and other particles can block sunlight, reducing power generation. Clean them regularly to improve performance.

Regulary Checkups:
Like any system, solar generator performance depends on its component conditions. Regularly inspect it and replace any damaged or worn-out parts for optimal power use.

Anker SOLIX offers 5- to 10-year warranties for all backup batteries. Each pre-owned and refurbished product has its own warranty, detailed in the product listing.
