Can a Solar Generator Power a House?

October 26, 2022 by Portable Power Leave a Comment

No, a solar generator is typically not large enough to power a house. While solar generators can hold a significant charge, and batteries hold more capacity with each new design innovation, a single solar generator will not have enough battery capacity to power a conventional house, entirely removing it from the larger power grid. They can run certain household appliances; see What Can You Run On a Solar Generator?

A large solar generator may provide enough power to run a refrigerator for a few hours, run the television for a day, and charge necessary mobile devices. However, even a large solar generator with a lot of battery storage won’t necessarily be able to power a single large appliance in your home, let alone an entire house.

If you are interested in a more sustainable energy source that uses renewable energy, like solar power, investing in a large solar panel system for your home is the best way to become energy independent. An extensive array of solar panels can fit in your yard or roof and gather more photons and energy to sustain a household, even overnight (see “Do Solar Generators Work At Night?“). However, solar energy does have limitations, and many homes, even with large arrays, cannot entirely disconnect from the larger power grid, requiring conventional energy occasionally.

Those who don’t have a conventional house might be interested to know how to find the best solar generator for off-grid living.
