Solar generators
A solar generator is a battery power station recharged by solar panels: the station stores the energy and powers your devices, the panels refill it during the day. It runs silently and without fuel, indoors or outdoors.

Build your own solar generator
Choose a station for the devices and hours you need, then a panel that matches its solar input. Before you pair them, check the three points below.
1. Power stations available today
2. Solar panels available today
3. Check before you pair a station and a panel
- Voltage: the panel’s open-circuit voltage must be inside the station’s solar input range.
- Watts: panels above the station’s maximum solar input do not charge it faster.
- Connector and cable: confirm the connector the station uses and whether the cable is included. A station and a panel of the same brand are the simplest match.
How to size a solar generator
Start with the station. Add the watts of the devices you want to run and multiply by the hours you need them: that is the energy in watt-hours (Wh) the battery has to hold, plus a margin for conversion losses. The continuous output in watts must cover what runs at the same time.
Then the panels. What a panel delivers in a day depends on the sun in your location and season, its angle, heat and shade, and is usually well below its rated watts times the daylight hours. As a rough example, a 200 W panel with four hours of full sun yields about 600 Wh after losses.
For a longer outage, what matters is the daily balance: what the panels put back against what your devices take out. The calculator runs that balance hour by hour with your own devices.

What is a solar generator?
It is a battery power station used with solar panels. The station stores energy and powers your devices; the panels are one of the ways to recharge it. It has no engine and burns no fuel.
Can a solar generator power a house?
It depends on your loads and hours. A portable station covers chosen devices such as a refrigerator, internet and lights; whole-home circuits need a home battery system and a professional connection. The calculator shows what fits your case.
Does a solar generator work without sun?
Yes. The station works from the energy already stored, and it can also be recharged from a wall outlet or a vehicle. Without sun the panels simply add little or nothing that day.
Can I use a solar generator indoors?
The battery station can be used indoors because it produces no exhaust. The solar panels need direct sun, so they go outdoors or by a window with sun, connected by their cable.
How many solar panels do I need?
Divide the energy you want to recover each day by a panel’s realistic daily output for your location, and stay within the station’s solar input limit.
